In this accessible yet stimulating book, Alister McGrath helps us discover how the extensive history of Christian theological reflection enriches our faith and enhances our engagement with the concerns and debates of the world around us.
The first part of the book discusses the purpose, place, and relevance of Christian theology: How does theology transform the way we see things? How can we address theological questions that baffle us? Does Christian faith have anything to say about how we approach the natural world? What is the relationship between theology and apologetics?
The second part focuses on how to interact with culture and its concerns, without overlooking the stir caused by new atheism. For this reason, it discusses the relationship between natural sciences and faith, and thoroughly and critically examines the arguments of new atheists, including their campaign for a "new Enlightenment."
In summary, this book helps us see that to cultivate a fruitful Christian life, it is essential to cultivate the mind with which God has endowed us.
