Contents:
Preliminaries. How Did we get here? -- Right-brain solutions for a left-brain world -- To hisotry we must go -- Starting with Jesus -- The Bible : what kind of book is this? -- The Bible : what kind of story is this? -- The church -- Excursus : The church and politics -- Becoming human -- Constructive proposals. Scripture : tricky texts and issues -- Atonement -- Heaven, hell, and all that -- Discipleship -- Mission and evangelism -- Concluding remarks -- Appendix. Why care about the creeds?
Summary: "How does the Christian faith actually work: as a worldview, as a story, as a larger vision of life within which the smaller categories of politics, ethics, and spirituality were designed to make sense? That is, after all, what the Bible itself is offering: one single (if complex and multifaceted) narrative worldview. Scripture is a story. And, if we fail to appreciate this, we will not only misread scripture but scripture's key character--and, from here, we are likely to misread so much else."
