Product Description

According to the author, a publisher of some experience, John Hunt, the people are right and the Church is wrong. Doubt is the key to good religious practice, not certainty. In this book, John Hunt provides a personal perspective on how Christianity reached its present point of evolution. Is it "good"? Does it "work"? Why the compulsion to believe in the first place? He investigates the 300 year gap between the life of Jesus and the time of the tenets of Christian religion as it is generally understood were firmly established - the Creeds; the Papacy; the Church; and the Bible itself. Hunt argues that the Church needs to embrace a broader vision of God, more in tune with the words of Jesus, in order to recover the interset of the majority of people. The book draws on detailed analysis from subjects such as history, science and philosophy, to present an argument for Christianity to move forward into the 21st century.

Editorial Reviews

Review
'John Hunt is to Liberal Theology what Richard Dawkins is to Evolutionary Biology ... a readable, thoughful and challenging work'. Edward Green - Christian Marketplace, Jan 2002

From the Author
A monument to vanity publishing! It's a personal perspective (ie; mine) on the many ways we believe in God today, with a preface written after September 11. This book was in its way to the printers when news of the shocking terrorist attacks on the US was braodcast. I didn't make any changes to the book itself, but to let it through without comment in the light of what has happened seemed inadequate.

My reference to "warring fundamentalism" on the back cover seemed a bit 'over the top' before these tragic events. So did the suggestion, in the penultimate chapter, that the next century might be one of warfare between the Muslim and Christian worlds. Today it doesn't seem so improbable.
