Why the Church?
Luigi Giussani
From its beginning, the Church has presented itself as a human phenomenon that claims to carry the divine within. A social fact, its reality given form by men and women, the Church has always affirmed its conviction that ontologically it surpasses the human reality of its components and has presented itself as a continuation of the event of Christ in history. Why the Church?, the final volume in McGill-Queen's University Press's trilogy of Luigi Giussani's writings, explores the Church's definition of itself as both human and divine, and verifies the truth of this claim.
