WINNER OF THE MICHAEL RAMSEY PRIZE FOR THE BEST IN THEOLOGICAL WRITING

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe is in demand the world over with Bishops, priests, lay people and above all young people. This book is his response.

When asked “What is the Point of being a Christian?”, one is pointed to God, who is the point of everything. But if we are pointed to God, then this should make a difference to how we live. This is not a moral superiority. Christians are usually no better than anyone else. But the lives of Christians should be marked by some form of hope, freedom, happiness and courage. If they are not then why should anyone believe a word they say?

Cardinal Radcliffe’s understanding of the Gospel is profoundly theological and couched in a deep understanding of human nature and the problems and anxieties of modern men and women.
