Renowned theologian Robert McAfee Brown believes that Christianity cannot be fenced off or separated from the world, but must always be viewed in relation to other realms of society. Making religious and moral concepts integral to real life is the challenge that Brown presents in this book. This call to a more active faith is perfect for use in study groups or for personal reflection.
Here, Brown puts his belief to the test, writing on Christianity and a multitude of topics.Book Description

This review is from: Speaking of Christianity: Practical Compassion, Social Justice, and Other Wonders (Paperback)
I've read and like most of McAfee Brown's stuff. This is not his best. It is a collection of sermons and short messages. Unless you are on a mission to read all he has to offer you might consider some of his other books before going here.
