Description

Currently', say s Adrian Lyons, 'Christianity, as presented to the general public by its leaders and teachers, seems to wobble between being over-insistent, pushy and even predatory, or on the other hand looking wishy -washy, vague and too ready to assimilate values of the wider world. I believe that it is possible to take the best and strongest elements in Christianity and relate them directly to the realities, issues and dilemmas that face all of us now alive.' Adrian Lyons endeavours to begin such a conversation, between contemporary Christians and their fellows of other religions and none, in this collection of essays written out of a long career of writing and preaching. A major theme of the essays is that Christian believers rarely take up the challenge to love the world as passionately and consistently as their sacred texts urge them to. The Christian gospels are undervalued when they are used only as manuals for developing Christian communities. The insights of the gospels, as well as the figure at their centre, Jesus of Nazareth, are God's gifts to people of all nations and cultures. The issues addressed in these essays include the use and misuse of power, violence in its many forms, distortions of democracy, problems that arise from attachment to land, and our difficulty in deciding when enough is enough. In the course of this book, the sacred and the secular reveal themselves as mutually enriching, rather than in competition with each other.
