Description
Christian engagement with contemporary issues is at the heart of this thought-provoking book. Samuel Wells explores some of the biggest challenges facing Christians today, including extremism, migration, ecology, social media, and inequality, in light of Christian hope and wisdom. Wells examines these issues under three headings: Engaging the World, Being Human, and Facing Mortality, probing a wide range of topics from childhood to old age. He sets out to shape a theological imagination and fluency that is grounded in the reality of being human in a suffering world and open to transformation by God's life and wisdom. This book offers a profoundly wise and striking exploration of how Christians can live with integrity in a complex and often challenging world.
