The Case for Christian Humanism

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

Franklin and Shaw make a convincing case — historical, biblical, liturgical, and theological in focus — for the essential compatibility of humanism and the Christian faith. Long neglected and often misunderstood, the rich tradition of Christian humanism offers much potential for greater personal and societal wholeness.
