Faith Across Traditions: Essays from Ten Years of Dialogue at Conciliar Post

0/5 ( ratings)

Celebrating ten years of dialogue across Christian traditions at Conciliar Post , Faith Across Traditions presents essays on a wide variety of cultural topics and Christian perspectives. In a world of fundamentalisms that possess all the answers and a postmodernism that decries true answers, this volume represents the middle path of Conciliar Post, which aims to seriously, thoughtfully, critically, and faithfully reflect upon life, faith, and our world. Included essays and poetry speak to conversions and denominations, the Church calendar, ethics and the Christian life, faith in the public square, scripture and interpretation, tradition and traditions, sin and salvation, and sorrow and grief.
