About this product
Product Information
How can Christianity remain a credible religion in our current era of scepticism? Reviving the debates begun by John Robinson and the demythologisation movement over half a century ago, Sceptical Christianity considers the main reasons behind people's religious scepticism and posits the question: what can be plausibly believed today? Reiss discusses issues of such as the relationship between religion and science and assisted dying, much debated among people of faith and no faith, and shows how they can be thought of in the best tradition of sceptical and critical Christianity. The result is a thought provoking book which sparks discussion on how the Church should behave and teach to retain its credibility.

Reviews
With the experience of being nearly fifty years a priest, and even longer as a human being and follower of Jesus Christ, Robert Reiss has written an attractive, honest and personal account of what he believes and why. Is it true? It is the best account he can give. It has the great merit of allowing us to respond., Reiss has an acute sense of history. His book will bring immense comfort to the many who call themselves Anglicans, but who are embarrassed when they recite the creeds, claiming to believe what is incredible, and irritated when preached to by apparently half-witted clergy who never raise the question of truth or evidence., The product of a lifetime's reflection, this is a book in the best Anglican tradition. Bob Reiss is courteous to those he challenges, solicitous about the sensitivities of his readers and bracingly sceptical. Despite his many doubts about traditional church teaching, his work is truly Christian in its generosity of spirit., Reiss, canon emeritus of Westminster Abbey, challenges readers with this very readable study of how Christianity can be made relevant in a scientific world. He acknowledges that religion is being questioned by a new generation of thinkers, both young and old. As critical thinkers reject the supernatural elements of Christianity- the virgin birth, the resurrection of Jesus, etc.-they are exiting the churches in large numbers. He presents a possible curative, citing Jonathan Sacks, who posited 'it was the job of science to take things apart to see how they work, but it was the job of religion to put things together to see what they mean.' Following this guidance, Reiss takes the components of traditional Christianity and determines the meaning of these parts in a society disinclined to accept fanciful notions about God and the cosmos. Readers will come away from this study with a deeper appreciation for the faith of their forebears as they reach out to faithfully understand the world around them. (June), 'Reiss has an acute sense of history. His book will bring immense comfort to the many who call themselves Anglicans, but who are embarrassed when they recite the creeds, claiming to believe what is incredible, and irritated when preached to by apparently half-witted clergy who never raise the question of truth or evidence.' - Baroness Mary Warnock, Oxford
