In this thought-provoking collection of talks and lectures Dr Rodney Schofield explores how the Christian faith expressed itself and developed over the years, highlighting the role of missionary pioneers as well as those deep thinkers who have faced the changing intellectual challenges. He draws upon a long and varied experience of the Christian Church, reaching back to his Methodist upbringing, followed by over 30 years spent as an Anglican priest serving in England as well as lecturing in Africa, before becoming a Catholic priest in 2006. This is a book for clergy, churchgoers, and any who want to engage honestly with religious truth.
