Desiderio e salvezza nel tempo della tecnica e dell’economia

Abstract

This study constitutes the Italian Theological Association’s (ATI) contribution to the Study Seminar for the Coordination of Italian Theological Associations (CATI) on the theme: Desire in the Technological and Economic Age. In fact, desire – emblematic figure of humankind – undergoes a profound change in today’s context and presents a challenge for theology in its annunciation of salvation. From here the two points of our research take leave: on the one hand developing a theological phenomenology of human desire – beginning from the great theologians of the past up to the present day -, on the other hand managing to decline some fruitful  inguistic areas which announce the salvation of humankind today: happiness, life, peace, sonship, daughter/brother/sisterhood.
