- Notes
- "[By] Peter Davison".
- "In a world torn by ideology, the Christian faith promises a journey toward wholeness. Yet the church has often confused ideology with faith and reduced its rich tradition to moralizing and stagnant custom. The author suggests positive and practical solutions to the many pressing questions raised by the confrontation between contemporary culture and church tradition. He writes for those who have difficulty in believing and for those who wish to grow in faith. This book is intended both for individual readers and for groups of people willing to explore together". -- back cover.
