Information
Through a delightful tour of some of the greatest writers in world literature (Homer, Aeschylus or Sophocles, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Dante and Racine), Charles Moeller in this work contrasts classical and the Greek and Christian for universal problems of evil, suffering and death. Beyond the obvious continuity of the humanist tradition from ancient and modern world, the great Belgian scholar highlights the novelty of the conception of man and the world opens Christianity. "If any of my readers have found, here or there, a moment of fervor, if some young student will find in this book even the shadow of his status as baptized, if an unbeliever, in short, to feel moved, impressed by the beauty of the Beatitudes of Christ, I consider my efforts rewarded. One alone would suffice me. One only. As a single man is a whole world: the world of grace and of nature that wants to live and shine in it. "Charles Moeller was born in Brussels, Belgium on January 18, 1912. At thirteen, his brother took him to an ecumenical gathering organized by Lambert Baudouin, defender of the union of the Churches. This meeting will mean the source of his future passion for ecumenism. After studying classical humanism, was formed in the seminary of Mechelen and devoted much time to study the Greek classics, but also the authors of his time. He was ordained in 1937 and appointed professor at the College of Saint-Pierre. Defender of the traditional humanities, which estimated necessary for the continued transmission of cultural heritage, he was professor of philosophy at Louvain. His value as a theologian led him to participate in the Second Vatican Council. Appointed secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he settled in Rome. In the late sixties, Pope Paul VI called him to lead the Ecumenical Institute in Jerusalem, where he was rector. His most famous work, which spent more than 30 years, Twentieth Century Literature and Christianity (6 vols.). He was a member of the French Academy from 1970-1986 and died in Brussels on April 3, 1986.
