A Nazareth Manifesto: Being with God : Being with God

Omtale

A Nazareth Manifesto is an eloquent and impassioned ecumenical proposal for re-envisioning Christianity's approach to social engagement away from working "for" the people to being "with" them. Questions the effectiveness of the current trend of intervention as a means of fixing the problems of people in distressed and disadvantaged circumstancesArgues that Jesus spent 90% of his life simply being among the people of Nazareth, sharing their hopes and struggles, therefore Christians should place a similar emphasis on being alongside people in need rather than hastening to impose solutionsWritten by a respected priest and broadcaster and renowned Christian ethicist and preacherSupported by historical, contemporary, exegetical and anecdotal illustrations
