Catholic Church Urged to Address America's Hebraic Spirit Amidst Religious Challenges
Eric Cohen and Jonathan Silver's essay 'America’s Hebraic Awakening' calls for a covenantal renewal within American Christianity, highlighting two major obstacles: the de-Hellenization of Christianity since the Protestant Reformation and the doctrine of the Fall of man. These issues are linked to what is termed 'Hebraic Christianity,' which presents challenges in religious, cultural, and political spheres. The essay suggests that overcoming these obstacles is crucial for addressing dysfunctions in society. The discussion also touches on the decline of Mainline Protestant denominations since the 1970s and the Catholic Church's potential role in filling the resulting cultural void.
