Synopsis

Is there room in the Church and in society today for a faith that takes the Bible and traditional teaching seriously but not literally? That sees Christianity as a developing tradition with its share of mistakes, but one which still provides people with the best framework for an encounter with God and a fulfilling life? Written in a popular style, but out of a deep love of the Church and the traditions and scholarship that have enriched it, this title sets out a liberal Christian position that is biblical, open, liturgically conservative, traditional, ethical, public and concerned with Christian action. In the clash between liberalism and fundamentalism that bedevils the Church today, Brian Mountford is always on the side of critical theology, real religion and poetic language about deep truth. He is pluralist but not indiscriminate. Christian but not extremist. He believes in the reality of God, but sees him as in the wound rather than the bandage. For those searching for a credible faith, unwilling or unable to take formulaic answers as absolute truth, this book should make a good introduction to what liberal Christianity can offer.
