The author calls the present-day church to once again be the "contrast society," which attracts non-believers by living what it preaches and by being different without being narrowly sectarian.

Galvin is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Chair of the Department of Theology at Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.
