In this volume the relevance of a reflection on inculturation in connection with American thought and cultural heritage is discussed by three authors. Whilst Theodore F. Zuern presents the case of native American cultures, Joseph A. Tetlow deals with America, the “melting pot” of cultures, societies and denominations. Peter Schineller analyses the theological value structure as found in the pluricultural, technotronic world of the United States. In this way, he applies to a particular country what Marcello de Azevedo in his “Inculturation and the Challenges of Modernity” has elaborated for the world at large.
Theodore F. Zuern, born 1921 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, served in the US Army Air Force till 1945 and entered the Society of Jesus in 1946. After his theological studies, he studied cultural anthropology at St. Louis University. Parish Priest in various Indian reservations he became Director of the Office of Indian Ministry for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 1975 and Chairman of the Wisconsin Province Indian Apostolate Board in 1979.
Joseph A. Tetlow, born 1930 in New Orleans, Louisiana, graduated from Brown University, taught at Loyola University, was President of the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, edited the “New Orleans Review” quarterly and became Associate Editor of the national Catholic weekly “America”.
