Spiritual and Religious: The Gospel in an Age of Paganism

Descripción

From the Publisher Why I wrote this book This book is written to draw attention to the ways various forms of paganism have become prominent in our world. My proposal is that God is equipping the church in ways which seem designed to enable us to meet the new challenges we now face. One way in which this challenge is often posed can be seen when people say that they are not religious, but that they are, in some way, spiritual. By ‘not religious’ they mean that they don’t go to church, pray, and read the Bible. But when we look more closely at the way our world actually works we discover that today’s society is very ‘religious’. Today’s world is ‘spiritual’ and ‘religious’, even if both those terms are slippery and easily misunderstood. My prayer is that this book will help people glimpse the deeper realities behind today’s language of ‘spiritual’ and ‘religious’, and to see how the gospel of Jesus enables us to celebrate the new creation which upstages and overthrows all the puffed-up pretensions of paganism. —N.T.
