Is there something more to being a Christian than to being human? Just what does it mean to be a Christian and what does it mean to be a Christian now? Hans Kling, one of today's greatest theologians, looks at these questions and out of a lifetime of study suggests the answers. He looks carefully at the evidence of the Bible, at the challenges of modern humanisms and of the world-religions, at the questions concerning death, at the local and the universal church, at the individual's own personal decisions, and at the freedom that Christianity brings, including the freedom to serve. The result is a vital and important statement about what it means to be a Christian. Written for both the scholar and the educated layman it will be one of the most discussed religious books of the decade. Hans Kung himself has said of this book, which he regards as his magnum opus, that it intends 'to clarify and challenge Christian faith and life at a time when the churches have unfortunately lost rather than gained in credibility. It seeks to bring to light for this present time the original Christian message and particularly the figure of Jesus of Nazareth'. .Найменування теми як предметна рубрика: Christianity | Humanity Тип одиниці:
