Synopsis

What are the sources of true Christianity? Tradition or Scripture? Experience? How far should our interpretation accommodate modern knowledge? Some take refuge in fundamentalism, others in emotion, many are leaving the Church. But there are others, called here Tomorrow's Christian , who struggle to bring together in a meaningful way traditional Christianity and a contemporary, nourishing understanding and expression of it. 36 short chapters sum up the characteristics of Tomorrow's Christian. One who is questioning, ecologically aware, global, evolving, non-theistic, balanced, right-brain, scriptural, prophetic, peace-making, forgiving, empowered, Jesus-following, seeking, free, discerning, post-modernist, meditating, mystical and others. Ideal for discussion groups, and all individuals looking outside their churches for a way to live as Christians.

Media Reviews
'An inspiring and multi-faceted vision of Tomorrow's Christian . The layout with many short chapters makes the book easy to read and digest. I enjoyed reading this book immensely. I find it stimulating and encouraging.' Philip Sheppard, Christians Awakening to a New Awareness 'The author has given an insight into what future Christians will believe, feel, think and hope... and a whole lot more besides. Based on the values of Jesus of Nazareth, the book fast forwards several decades, making it clear that Tomorrow's Christians will be much more like Jesus than most of those who have lived in the last 2000 years. Those who have already given up on the Churches will be greatly uplifted by this forward-thinking book.' Frank Pycroft, ONE for Christian Exploration 'For those of us who may despair at the present state of the Church, we look for books that give a clear line without false shortcuts to popularity. There are those like Adrian Smith who have not their wish to proclaim the Gospel clearly and in communion with the Catholic elements of the Churches. Here he gives clear expositions of the desirable attitudes and aspects of Tomorrow's Christian. This book is not for those who want a quiet life. You will be challenged to become a much better and more exciting person to be with! ' David Storey, The Modern Churchpeople's Union
