Kult. Warum die Zukunft des Christentums uns alle betrifft

Christianity is Cult! Is Christianity a dying model in our cultural sphere? Does it still have relevance in light of many justified critical inquiries into the Church? And if so, what makes the Church relevant for today's world? Reinhard Marx counters the pessimism of decline with the provocative assertion: Christianity is Cult! He reflects on why and how the essence of Christianity can be realized and experienced in the cultic celebration of the faith community. The celebration of the Eucharist opens our eyes to the necessary transformation of the world. Such a cultic celebration of life and hope must also impact ethics and social teaching, the reform of the Church, and the contribution of Christianity to the cohesion of society and the strengthening of democracy. The future of Christianity is intertwined with the future of a democratic and free societal order. The Church's bearers of hope take a look into the future that extends far beyond internal church discussions: A book with a socio-political dimension.
