Although parts of the Western world now appear almost totally secularised, Christianity remains the most potent worldview on earth alongside Islam. In this compelling book, Rupert Shortt gracefully argues that Christianity is a much more coherent, progressive body of belief - philosophically, scientifically and culturally - than often supposed by its critics. Alert to the menace posed by religious fundamentalism, as well as to secularist blind spots, he shows how a self-critical faith is of huge consequence to wider human flourishing, including through promoting peace and environmental sustainability
Rupert Shortt is a research associate at the Von Hügel Institute, University of Cambridge. He was religion editor of The Times Literary Supplement from 2000 to 2020, and has written for publications including the Financial Times, The Guardian and The Spectator. His books include Benedict XVI; Rowan’s Rule: The Biography of the Archbishop; Outgrowing Dawkins: God for Grown-Ups; The Hardest Problem: God, Evil and Suffering; and Faltering Faith: Christianity’s Eclipse and Why It Matters (forthcoming).
