Philip Wogaman addresses 'people who wonder whether Christian Faith makes sense in light of the sweeping changes of our age,' changes that have created at the same time a pluralistic world, a technologically sophisticated world, a dangerous world, a world of great prosperity, and yet great suffering. What are we to make of this time we live in Can the Christian faith really provide a stable foundation Wogaman wrestles with these and other questions as he investigates the true meaning of a Christian faith with a positive understanding of religious pluralism and a rejection of fanaticism. He concludes that this faith is a 'hopeful love' that proclaims the centrality of love against selfishness and the power of hope against despair. 224 pp. Englisch.
