How can Christianity remain a credible religion in our current era of scepticism? Reviving the debates begun by John Robinson and the demythologisation movement over half a century ago, Sceptical Christianity considers the main reasons behind people's religious scepticism and posits the question: what can be plausibly believed today?
 
Reiss revisits some of the key aspects of Christianity, such as the Trinity, and shows how they can be thought of in the best tradition of sceptical and critical Christianity. The result is a thought provoking book which sparks discussion on how the Church should behave and teach to retain its credibility.
Preface. 1. Who is the Author?. 2. Why Scepticism?. 3. What Does it Mean to Believe in God?. 4. Jesus of Nazareth. 5. The Resurrection. 6. The Christ of Faith. 7. Salvation. 8. The Last Things. 9. Prayer and Public Worship. 10. Living as a Christian. 11. Freedom of Thought in the Church of England. Conclusions
'Reiss has an acute sense of history. His book will bring immense comfort to the many who call themselves Anglicans, but who are embarrassed when they recite the creeds, claiming to believe what is incredible, and irritated when preached to by apparently half-witted clergy who never raise the question of truth or evidence.' - Baroness Mary Warnock, Oxford
