Rethinking Christianity

With clarity, warmth, and depth, renowned theologian and professor Alister McGrath explores why Christianity continues to captivate thoughtful people in every generation across human history, in a compassionate invitation to rediscover meaning, identity, and hope in a story bigger than ourselves.

As one of our most respected Christian scholars, Dr. Alister McGrath is used to deep conversations about faith. Whether in lively debate with the "New Atheists," in helping people more deeply understand the legacy of C. S. Lewis, or in his many other writing and speaking opportunities, Dr. McGrath is passionate about inviting people to consider or re-appreciate the depth and meaning of the Christian faith. But in recent years it has been in personal conversation with his students at the University of Oxford that Dr. McGrath has found some of the most exciting opportunities to share his faith, as the questions of this generation come to light in hearts curious about this "ancient religion" and often learning about it for the first time.

Now Dr. McGrath invites us all to listen in as he warmly presents how Christianity is a way of finding the "moreness" that every human heart desires in a time and culture that is constantly draining us of meaning, truth, and beauty. "Why won't Christianity stay buried?" he asks, and from that intriguing question helps us better understand our shifting culture, a healthy Christian relationship to science, and how authentic faith offers us a map for the soul that steers us through God's grand narrative into our eternal purpose and "fullness of life."

Perfect both for new seekers and mature Christians eager to resharpen their minds and thoughtfully engage the pressing questions of our time, Rethinking Christianity promises to be a new classic of apologetics and a book that will help all of us reconnect with the rich thought and powerful personal promises of faithful Christian belief.
