Inclusive Christianity: A Progressive Look at Faith
What a perfect gift for a new Christian. We used to call such books “primers” – they were handbooks for a journey about to be undertaken, first groundings in a new area of experience, a self-help manual to take on a pilgrimage through life. Scott Thornton’s book is so practical and humane. He touches on the grandest and noblest themes of Christian faith without ever losing the common touch. He is a doctor and when I’d put his book down, I (a long-in-the-tooth Christian) felt that he knew me inside out. I wish he were my physician as well as my theological companion! Reverend Leslie Griffiths, Wesley’s Chapel, London, EnglandThis excellent book deserves a broad reading! Unless we bring R. Scott Thornton's kind of faith-filled intelligent response to our Scriptures and practice, I see little ability for Christianity to heal, transform or unite our world. With this kind of wisdom, which is merely Jesus' wisdom, we can do just that! Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, NM
