- "'For Christ's Sake' was originally written not to be controversial nor to disturb the faithful but as an attempt to wrestle anew with the only evidence about Jesus we have, the New Testament. I wanted to see whether its message, compromised and changed over the years to suite a range of political and other interests, could be released anew in terms ordinary people could understand. In other words, is there good news there for a spiritually confused and empty generation and can it be communicated to young and old alike ?" -- Preface.
