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.
