Christianity ([New] ed)

Written by John Young, a Canon of York Minster and a member of the General Synod, this is an introduction to Christianity as a living faith.

It looks at its impact on the world today and the questions surrounding its continuing influence, including the problems of Christian faith in a scientific age, Church, society, medical ethics and other faiths.

Assessing Christianity's artistic, medical, architectural and literary inheritance, the book covers the person, teaching and impact of Jesus Christ and prayer, worship and the Christian experience of God as well as modern movements in the Church.

The aim of the text is to stimulate reflection on Christianity, both for practising Christians and for the general reader who wants to know more about this worldwide faith.
