Synopsis

Confessing Christ in the Twenty-First Century, written for the layperson and for those who lead and teach them, challenges the readers to think about how their confession is the basis for claiming not only a relationship to a savior, but a way of living in the world-a politics-that is countercultural in the literal sense of that term. At the same time, it comforts them by reminding that the Lord they proclaim is one who opens up a way of living in genuine freedom and equality with others. Douglas probes essential issues in philosophy, theology, worship, ethics, and politics in a way that offers understanding and a comprehensive view, even as it stimulates readers to explore the meaning of their faith in vigorous conversation.

Media Reviews
Mark Douglas here illumines what is meant by affirming Christ's Lordship in the 21st century. He does so in chapters that deeply plumb faith's history and traditions of theological reflection, yet he writes in a remarkably pertinent, accessible and attractive way. This book is destined for a long and highly useful life in adult discussion groups and seminary classes. Deep learning and bold contemporary applications live here side-by-side in ways that demand serious attention and reflectionnnn -- Lewis S. Mudge, Robert Leighton Stuart Professor of Theology, Emeritus at San Francisco Theological Seminary and the Graduate Theological Union, Mark Douglas emerges as a fresh, young and free theologian in his quite systematic exploration of the confession Jesus is Lord. . The intelligent implications of the ancient confession for our space, time, and faith are well expressed in lively prose for both theory and practice in this fine book. -- Ronald H.
