Why is it that people who read the same Bible and talk about the same Christ, even when they belong to the same church, have trouble getting along with each other and committing themselves to a common witness in the world? In this highly original book, Shirley Guthrie looks at these questions and provides a framework that will help Christians better understand their own beliefs, learn from each other, and be more open to working for greater union in addressing serious issues.
Shirley C. Guthrie, Jr., was a minister of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and J. B. Green Professor of Systematic Theology at Columbia Theological Seminary for nearly forty years.
