Chapter II explores the meaning of the ideas of crisis and dialogue in the testing of tradition; the "risk" which leads to conviction. Giussani states that "to be in crisis means to become aware of the reality from which we are shaped." This awareness of our "tradition" must then be tested. For the Christian it means the following:
"This engagement, even at the level of a working hypothesis, implies the need to throw our whole life into the community of the church and to identify the life of the Christian community with our life. Only then we shall see, only then shall we realize what the Christian proposal means to us."
