Inhaltsangabe

As a pandemic and racial reckoning exposed society’s faults, Christian thinkers were laying the groundwork for a better future.

2020 was no ordinary year. A public health crisis provoked by Covid-19. A social crisis ignited by the death of George Floyd. A leadership crisis laid bare as the gravity of a global pandemic met a country suffocating in political polarization.

In the spring of 2020, Comment magazine created a publishing project to tap the resources of a Christian humanist tradition to respond collaboratively and imaginatively to these crises. Plough soon joined in the venture. So did seventeen other institutions. The web commons that resulted – Breaking Ground – became a one-of-a-kind space to probe society’s assumptions, interrogate motives, and imagine what a better future might require.

This volume, written in real time during a year that revealed the depths of society’s fissures, provides a wealth of reflections and proposals on what might come after. It is an anthology of writing by people of faith seeking to understand how they can best serve the broader society and renew the world.
