Deeply Rooted - the forgotten vision of Robert Schuman

作者:
How could post-war Europe be rebuilt on the Great Commandment to love one's neighbour?

In three momentous minutes on May 9, 1950, Robert Schuman laid the foundations for the European house in which today half a billion Europeans from 27 nations live together in peace. Surely that was the defining moment of post-war Europe. Yet today his story is barely known, rarely taught and scarcely appreciated.

What extraordinary vision compelled this man, acclaimed as 'Father of Europe' by an earlier generation? How could this vision, based on an ancient imperative, shape tomorrow's Europe?

'I am thankful to Jeff Fountain for reviving Schuman's vision. It opens the door for all into the life and though of Schuman which offers hope for Europe.' From the introduction by Prof. Dr. Thomas Schirrmacher, Martin Bucer Seminary, Bonn.

'I could hardly put it down,' David Fieldsend, CARE Europe, Brussels.
