"Is Christian faith possible any more in a world which 200 years of secularisation have so radically changed? Ian Harris thinks so - but only by exploring and expressing it in ways that belong to the world as it is now, not the world as it used to be. For example, he suggests it is not necessary to believe in a supernatural order for the word 'God' to have meaning, and explores the view that it is human beings who create God, not vice versa. But if we accept that, what happens to our understanding of Jesus? Can there still be a place for Christ in our secular world? Or is the gulf between religious and secular ways of thinking too wide to bridge? In this book Ian Harris suggests that it is possible to reconceive the Christ of faith in a way which stems from the core faith tradition, yet which is culturally appropriate to the world as we know it on the eve of the 3rd millennium."
