The transmission of the Christian faith in the formulas of tradition has exceeded its shelf life. It is no longer a question of which articles of faith people believe and whether they believe at all. Rather, the core of Christianity is determined by social and humane target values of humanity: helping one's neighbor and solidarity. From Jesus we can take over and continue this lived humanity as an obligation. And we can be sure that the Hindu Gandhi and the Jew Korczak are just as much Jesuits as Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther King and Pope Francis. With his unsparing analysis Hubertus Halbfas shakes up and plausibly presents: What is over, what changes, what remains.
