Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus,
surveys the exciting and history-changing ideas of Pope John
Paul II in A Civilization of Love. By popularizing
not only John Paul's vision but also that of his successor,
Benedict XVI, Anderson hopes to inspire Christians to work
toward creating a civilization of love. In such a
civilization every person is a child of God. We are all
intrinsically valuable. The battle today is between the
culture of death (where people are judged by their social or
economic value) and the culture of life. Anderson pushes
aside religious differences in order to spread a message of
hope to those who are weary of the constant turmoil of
modern society. While he does specifically challenge
Christians to take an active role in their faith, you do not
have to be a Christian to participate in the movement toward
a civilization of love. By embracing the culture of life and standing with those
most marginalized and deemed "useless" or a "burden" on
modern society, Christians can change the tone and direction
of our culture. Anderson demonstrates that regardless of our
differences, we can come together on the centrality of
loving and caring for others. He brings a message of
inclusion and hope in the midst of a clash of civilizations
and provides a road map for helping Christians understand
their role in the world.
