José Manuel Fidalgo, Deputy Director of the high school Superior of Religious Sciences and professor of the department of Dogmatic Theology of the University of Navarra, has published the book Conocer al hombre desde Dios.

According to researcher, the work studies the centrality of Christ in the anthropological thought of Romano Guardini: "This thinker, so influential in 20th century theology, tries to give a Christian response to the fracture of thought produced during the course of modernity. With the gradual withdrawal of God and revelation as reference letter of thought and culture, man's own vision of himself has become problematic and contradictory".

Thinking the whole of human existence from Christ

"The strength and greatness of Guardini's thought - and its risk - are born from the challenge that he so seriously proposed to himself: to think the whole of human existence from Christ, thus recovering a unitary and integral thought. Only by thinking in vital union with faith will we achieve a unitary and total vision of human existence: of man, of nature and of culture. Put Christ at the center of human thought, to learn to 'look through his eyes' and contemplate reality from there," says the author of the book.
