This book offers an incisive yet comprehensive introduction to the nature and problems of Christian faith in the modern world. Throughout the author shows that he is able to exercise scholarship with an acute understanding of the difficulties of ordinary Christians in a technological age. He never reduces the essentials of Christian tradition but shows how the fundamental tenets of faith can be held responsibly and proudly in the face of rationalist and philosophical criticism as well as the tragic disappointments of an anguished age. Introduces us to Christian faith as something always conscious of the difficulties of everyday practice, always avoiding the two betrayals of conservatism and radicalism. His message is not one of confusion and uncertain experiment but of trust and hope. He examines the situation, location, truth, act, content, ecclesiality and historicity of faith, shows its saving assurance, anchors it in Christology, and reminds us of its direction to the one future of God.
