I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. – Galileo GalileiIn this thought-provoking and challenging book, Jim Vincent asks whether it is possible to accept the bible as a basis for faith in the 21st century without forgoing the use of our sense, reason and intellect. And is it reasonable for the church to continue to claim the bible as the ‘Word of God’ and the foundation of its teachings? Vincent suggests that only by completely revising its stance on the bible can the church have a future. It must forge a new theology fit for the modern age and embark upon a bold and dynamic reformation. This may mean discarding many of its most cherished tenets and much of the bible itself. But ultimately this will enable the church – and the individual – to experience a new lease of life and to find new meaning in.
