Product Description

In recent decades there have been major shifts in the understanding of Christian identity. What does characterize a Christian these days? What unites and sets them apart from the dominant patterns of social and political understanding? How is this identity forged and can it be 'passed on' to others? This book engages with these changing ideas through the work of the three major schools of theological thought, taking the work of a leading figure to represent each school. So in the first section, the work of Rowan Williams, John Milbank and Kathryn Tanner is examined and assessed. In the second part, this is used as a springboard from which to develop a new, relevant, and fuller understanding of Christian identity. As Christianity declines in parts of the western world, and expands in non-western areas, the nature of Christian identity is more crucial and vexed than ever before. This book is aimed at academics in theologians and those working in religious studies, graduate students studying contemporary Christianity, and advanced undergraduates studying Christianity in the modern world.
