Description
Is the Bible the infallible word of God? Do souls go to heaven when people die? Do Christians believe that their ultimate commitment is the realm of God, above all other bonds? For the reader who has ever considered such questions, or who has other queries about Christian faith and practices, this book addresses these issues. The author, throughout sixty years of pastoral and priestly ministry, has raised many questions in his journey with Jesus about the faith and practices of contemporary Christianity. Doubts about faith and practice as Christians are not a betrayal of Jesus. They are the starting line for the race to achieve what could be called a reasoned faith, a belief that is audacious enough to shake off simple answers to the most complex challenges Christians face. Personal vignettes from experiences as a pastor and priest are presented to highlight the theme of each of the chapters. The author, who has occasionally said with tongue in cheek that he would rather officiate at a funeral than a wedding "because the principals don't talk back," looks at five of the church's seven sacraments. The final chapter images God through the lens of the Star Wars trilogies.
