About This paperback
This book is vintage Bert Richards: a distillation of his thinking and teaching over many years, it is the expression of his search for 'the reality that lies behind our formulas and creeds, our beliefs and unexamined assumptions'.
Tackling vital aspects of biblical teaching - on violence, poverty, faith, worldliness, forgiveness - he does not pretend to offer answers, but succeeds in stimulating his readers into thinking these fundamental issues through for themselves.
The writing is lucid and fluent, the content challenging and at times provocative. Through all the intellectual argument shines the author's personal commitment to the living mystery that is God.
• On poverty - how blessed are the poor?
• On violence - must a Christian be a pacifist?
• On peace - rest or unrest?
• On worldliness - out of this world or in it?
• On providence - divine plan or divine presence?
• On the Messiah - what did Jesus claim?
• On kingdom come - Already or not yet?
• On the Jews - is the New Testament anti-Jewish?
• On the Chosen People - chosen for what?
• On the Church's task - to convert or to witness?
• On forgiveness - what about God's wrath?
• On being perfect - a command or only an ideal?
• On faith - certainty or uncertainty?
