| Description: |
Kevin Hector argues that we can understand Christianity as a set of practices designed to transform one's way of perceiving and being in the world. He examines practices that reorient us to God that transform our way of being in the world and that reshape our way of being with others.
Taken together, the aim of these practices is to transform one's way of perceiving and acting in the face of success and failure, risk and loss, guilt and shame, love, and loss of control. These transformations can add up to a transformation of one's very self.
To make sense of Christianity as a way of life, in turn, these practices must be understood within the context of Christian beliefs about sin, Jesus, redemption, and eternal life. Understanding them thus requires a systematic theology, which Hector offers in this clear-eyed, ambitious, and elegant interpretation of the Christian tradition.
"A sophisticated and compelling account of Christianity as a salutary way of life rather than a mere system of coherent beliefs. Reading it carefull will be time very well spent." Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School. |
