Beskrivning

Western cultures are experiencing a new wave of interest in faith. Many people, both young and old, are exploring Christianity for the first time with little or no preconception about traditional forms of religion. How should the Church respond? What does witness look like in this cultural context?Come and See brings together essays by theologians, artists, ethicists and musicians, working both within and outside the Church, exploring different facets of what it means to be a witness to Jesus Christ in today’s world. The conversation encompasses explorations in Old and New Testament theology, Christian doctrine, liturgical studies, arts and aesthetics, Continental philosophy and Christian ethics. The book challenges the Church to see Christian witness as a life’s vocation. Such a vocation demands a whole life, lived for our neighbours and ourselves. It is the challenge of the Woman at the Well who invited people to ‘come and see’, and of John the Baptist who points the way to Christ. This witness does not merely communicate words, but communicates life. Contributors to this volume include Carmody Grey, Belle Tindall-Riley, Hannah Steele and Andrew Davison, with a foreword by N. T. Wright.

Recensioner i media

Come and See is a refreshing and compelling invitation to recover the Church’s true calling: not to shout, but to witness. With clarity and depth, this book reminds us that Christian faith begins in attention - to Christ, to culture, and to the people before us. It calls us back to the simple, demanding task of learning to see, and to help others see. In a distracted age, this is a wise and timely guide.
