Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Ian Harris's 'Faith and Reason' columns - which have featured in the Otago Daily Times for fifteen years, and in The Dominion Post and Touchstone as 'Honest to God' - argue that Christianity in this millennium is not the paradox it appears to be but religion at its most creative. Journalist Harris began his columns in 2001. They explore Christianity in a post-911 framework and discuss concepts of faith in order to make sense of them for secular people in a secular age. In this selection, Ian Harris writes in response to current events and visual media, cinematic retellings such as The Passion of the Christ, and the ideas of people like Stephen Hawking, Lloyd Geering and Philip Pullman. He portrays faith as a creative, evolving and essential part of life, not an outdated and immoveable concept etched in stone"--Back cover. Signed. 226 pages.…
