He could engage you with a joke about a \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e cartoon, move on to a keen commentary on the state of the culture, and finish off with a meditation on the Gospel of John. In his talks and essays, Albacete made profound theological and philosophical insights accessible without ever losing their depth and breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with the exception of a single book published in his lifetime, much of Albacete's wisdom has been scattered and hard to find. \u003cem\u003eThe Relevance of the Stars\u003c\/em\u003e fills this vacuum. With his characteristic wit and ease, Albacete engages the thorniest questions-the relation of faith and reason, the problem of modernity, the possibility of a Christian culture-as they play out in science and politics, money and love, law and finance. He speaks to families, youth, and his friends in the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e cartoons feature here, of course, alongside Dostoevsky, Flannery O'Connor, and Elie Wiesel. Albacete masterfully engages the thought of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Father Luigi Giussani, the founder of the international lay movement Communion and Liberation, whose passion for the infinite Albacete made his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51991816896813,"sku":"9781639820849","price":21.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/WCt6VHAwcXREczlZYi9iWDg2QVJUZz09.webp?v=1776318634","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/relevance-of-the-stars-christ-culture-destiny-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
