The material in this book gives much food for thought. It is suitable for self-study or as a stimulating resource for group discussion.
It is written for all those who seek to retain and deepen their Christian faith in an age when fewer and fewer people are drawn to traditional church structures. It is also for people of other faiths who, for the sake of peace in the world, recognise the urgent need for greater mutual understanding and tolerance among the different faith traditions through inter-faith dialogue.
Our globalised world of the 21st Century is characterised by widespread poverty in which millions of our fellow humans struggle on or below the poverty line; by continuing outbreaks of religiously inspired wars and conflicts between and within the nations of the world; by acts of global terrorism that threaten the peace and security of men and women everywhere; and by environmental degradation that threatens human survival.
David Fairhurst is keenly concerned with applying the central understandings and challenges of the New Testament to our contemporary age and his book asks: What does it mean to be a Christian today?
