Synopsis

Soiling the Hands is the third in a series of seven books - the "One of Us Collection" - which document the author's exploration of the relationship between God and humanity. This volume completes his trilogy on the Word of God with a study on the Canon of Scripture. In the process, he tackles the historically thorny subject of the relationship between the Authority of the Church and the Authority of Scripture by examining the ways in which Catholic and Evangelical scholarship have approached a topic which, the author claims, “tells us more about the Church than it does about the Scriptures”.

À propos de l?auteur

Michael (“Mike”) Mahony was born in Ireland in 1944 and has lived in South Africa since 1975, having previously worked in Nigeria, Dublin, and London. Mike holds an honors degree in physics from University College Dublin, and a masters degree in business from The University of South Africa. His life-occupation has been primarily in IT (software development) in banking, from which he retired in 2002. Since his conversion to Christ in 1978 he has been actively engaged in Christian ministry as a lay person, both in Catholic and Evangelical churches, and is currently a member of St. Charles Catholic Church, Victory Park, Johannesburg. Mike has been married to his wife, Mary, since 1967. They have been blessed with three sons and three daughters, and (at last count) have eleven grandchildren. This collection of seven books, (One of Us) is Mike’s first venture into ‘doing theology’ and expressing it in writing. If he had known that it was going to be such fun, he would have undertaken it years ago.
