Re-Enchanting Christianity: Faith in an Emerging Culture

Dave Tomlinson is author of The Post Evangelical, a seminal book which acknowledged the disenchantment with simplistic approaches to faith experienced by many evangelicals. Many, locked into interpretations of Christianity that they can no longer accept, have given up on the Church altogether. But is re-enchantment possible in our post-modern, post-Christian age? In this original and exciting follow-on book, Dave Tomlinson explores how Christianity, once deconstructed, can become credible again. Re-enchantment is not a return to credulity or an attempt to recapture lost innocence, but it is finding a realistic faith that reconciles heart and head, that offers a positive, engaging spirituality, that is unafraid of grappling honestly with difficult questions. He explores key components of Christian belief - God, sin, the Bible, resurrection, the Church, mission, prayer and more - and asks how they can be understood in deeper, more meaningful ways.
