Description
The Christian faith makes huge and wonderful assertions about God and creation, about Jesus of Nazareth and salvation. These papers explore the deep consequences of ‘simple faith’. The authors argue passionately for the rich complexity of believing, and for the importance of a love of understanding. They ask us to think hard and well, to work, to listen to other voices, to probe for the truth. Bruce Rosier Anglican Bishop of Willochro, 1970 – 1987 It is encouraging to read a book which promotes the importance of theology done within the community of faith. Those who do value the ecclesial foundations of theology, however, must grapple with how the faith of the church is to be expressed today; this book is a fine example of such a grappling. In addition, the variety of ecclesial traditions and theological approaches represented in the book ensure that this volume will become a resource for those involved in the conversation between the various traditions.
