Secularism, the Church, and the Way Forward is a succinct yet descriptive dialogue between a nonagenarian church leader and a young pastor who are struggling with the reality of the rapidly morphing Western Protestant church. At times debatable, at others provocative, and with insights that induce conviction, the authors challenge, confuse, and enlighten the reader. Combining proven, multidisciplinary models with innovative approaches, the authors inspire a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the church''s relationship to society. In so doing, they point the church''s leaders toward the perilous yet necessary path of rediscovering its identity.

A meditation over the existence of God, conceived in a sacred doubtfulness but which does not overshadow, though, religious hope. A bird''s eye flight over man''s need for spirituality, from ancient times to today''s society, with a non-academical approach which makes it suitable for the everyday reader. An insight on how and why Christian religion came to us the way we know it and on the dichotomy between faith and reason through the centuries. Finally, a reflection about hope as the answer to the doubts and uncertainties that most Christians experience at some point in their lives.

Or in a stranger. Hope, trust, love, and belief are connected. What happens when those things are taken away?

With clear and easily understood explanations, this book will show you how the Scriptures reveal a world of promise, not fear; a kingdom present, not to come; and the powerful bride as she is, not one that needs to be raptured away.
