The beginning of the third millennium presents the Order of Preachers, commonly known as the Dominicans, with a whole new set of challenges. Secularism, relativism, and a rapidly increasing de-Christianization are in the process of turning the world upside down. Culture is on the decline in the Western world and the margins of rich and poor grow larger. The Order, in its wisdom has set pieces of a roadmap all through its writings, the writings of the general chapters, the writings of masters of the Order, the writings of theologians and others. Using Church teaching and doctrine, the roadmap is brought together in this seminal work. The parts of the roadmap in this book form a cognitive whole that is both prophetic and practical.
