As Hart works his way systematically through the major headings of Christian doctrine, he draws the reader into an enthralling quest to receive our freedom at God's hands and so to find that our purpose in life is to be an unexpected, undeserved, astonishing gift to ourselves, to one another and to God'Jane Williams, St Mellitus College London and Chelmsford
