Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'With imagination and audacity, Richard Holloway's Doubts and Loves offers a fearless critique of the faith, with uncertainty and disbelief accorded full dignity.' Sunday Herald

'It will appeal to all of us who continue to be interested in the moral challenge of our time' Jeanette Winterson

'A sensitive, brave and inspiring book' Karen Armstrong

'A thoughtful, playful, courageous and deeply altruistic book... a fine companion for anyone who wishes to live a life of any depth' A. L. Kennedy

'I don't know when I have been more impressed, indeed, excited, by a work ... It answers the seemingly tormenting questions in a completely satisfying way' --Ruth Rendell

Reseña del editor:

This work argues that it is better to use Christianity as good poetry than as bad science, and although the author sets out to deconstruct its doctrines, "my intention is positive; it is to craft from the Christian past a usable ethic for our own time". The book is a rescue attempt, an argued case for salvaging the challenge of Jesus by revealing the essence of his teachings and showing why they remain revolutionary, humane and of massive spiritual importance.
