Description
Series Editors: Veronica Brady IBVM and Hilary Regan
Our age is not one of great hope; war and terror
continue unabated. Despair lies hidden just below
the preoccupations of daily life, and is starkly
visible at many points in today’s world. Directly or
indirectly, the contributors to this volume seek to
challenge the culture of despair. These authors,
theologians and leaders in the Uniting Church,
write about hope: its ground, its shape in the Bible
and its expression in Christian life and worship,
mission and ministry. The book challenges the
church as much as the culture. Do Christians know
the ground of their hope? Is the church the bearer of hope?
Does its worship sustain hope?
