Beschrijving

This is a book for people, Christians and non-Christians alike, who are disgruntled with the incongruities of post-modernity and who are willing to engage in some serious thinking to understand what is happening to us and what should be done about it. The author argues that, despite our material achievements, modern man has regressed to medieval thinking. He then introduces the historical reasoning of the Bible and the Christian humanists to which we are indebted for much of the scientific and cultural advances of the West. Intelligent Christianity turns out to be a lay Christianity not only because Jesus instituted it this way, but because today’s society needs it as much as in his times. Although no quick solution is provided, the author illustrates the practical value of historical reason through an account of his own application to redesigning university education in Australia, USA and Sweden.
