Does faith rest on history or personal feeling—and can it be both?
The book argues that knowing Christ is not just a feeling but a fact that joins history with personal life. It asks readers to consider how hearing Christ’s call and following Him can shape who we are, in a way that feels real and trustworthy. This edition centers on the claim that the gospel is both a historical presence and a living influence in everyday life.
Through clear discussion, it explains why the two strands—the historical Jesus and the experiential life of faith—support and reinforce one another. The result is a practical view of faith that speaks to readers who want reason and experience to align, rather than clash.
- How the call of Christ becomes a real relationship deeper than simple belief
- Why faith, history, and personal experience can interlock rather than conflict
- Ways this view challenges common doubts about miracles and certainty
- The impact of Christian truth on how we understand life, society, and the world
Ideal for readers of Christian thought, religious history, and contemporary ethics who seek a grounded, readable explanation of how faith works today.
