Description
What truth underlines the much bandied phrases ‘Secular Christianity’ or Bonhoeffer’s ‘religionless Christianity’? Charles Davis maintains a distinction between the two interrelated processes, secularisation and de-Christianisation, showing how a positive attitude to secularisation is in no sense incompatible with faith in the transcendent or sacred. While sacred and secular remain distinct, they are inseparably related in the concrete world in which we live, through God’s grace. He discusses the integration of the sacred and the secular in man’s history, and the gradual emergence of God’s grace through this history. He ends his Maurice lectures with a challenge to the Church to play a leading role in the world today in the light of understanding.
