Description

The world constantly throws up new challenges about what it means to be Christian and to live a distinctively Christian lifestyle. The priest; broadcaster; writer and ethicist Samuel Wells considers some of the biggest contemporary political; social and moral challenges and grapples with them in the light of Christian hope and wisdom. Under three headings – Engaging the World; Being Human; and Facing Mortality – he probes a wide range of issues including the rise of religious extremism; migration; ecology; social media; sexual identities; inequality; obesity; life stages from childhood to old age; dementia; facing death and much more. This striking and profoundly wise book sets out to shape a theological imagination and fluency that is grounded in the reality of being human in a suffering world and yet open to transformation by the life and wisdom of God.
