Dancing on The Edge

Book Ref. S24

Bishop Holloway writes for all sorts of people struggling between belief and unbelief in a post-Christian age.

‘There is a struggle going on for the soul of Christianity,’ warns Richard Holloway, right at the start of this uncompromising call to arms on behalf of the Christian faith.

In a rapidly changing society, the Churches have largely responded by digging their heals in and refusing to acknowledge progress.

Bishop Holloway, one of the leading prelates in the Anglican Church, has long been fascinated by doubt and uncertainty. Now, for the first time he tackles the fundamental beliefs of Christianity, ranging from the existence of God and the authority of the Bible to sexuality, suffering and a society growing ever distant from daily church life.

Under three sections – God, Us and the Church – he takes a daring, challenging and sometimes controversial journey through the signs of the times and the relevance of the Christian faith at the end of the century.
