Unbelievable: Confident faith in a sceptical world

by Malcolm Duncan

Overview

Christians face a tough task. In a world without consensus, all truth claims are regarded dubiously.

The Gospel does not change, but what aspects should be highlighted in our rapidly changing culture? How do we speak 'into' the culture, instead of just mirroring that culture? Malcolm Duncan constructs his case around the core statements of the Apostles' Creed. If we believe in as God as Creator, what does that mean about our treatment of His creation? If we accept Christ as Saviour and Lord, in what sense are we rescued, redeemed, remade? If we accept the Holy Spirit as Guide, where are we going and what are we here for?

We face an unbelievable task: playing our part in the world's regeneration. But God has confidence in us. If we can be confident of what He has done for us, then we can also be confident of what He wants to do through us.

"The author has done a commendable job in bringing us back to solid theology at a time the church would be wise to be more and more interested in sound teaching."
