Summary: Christianity Without Guilt, Hypocrisy or Oppression
Comment: Holloway begins this book by stating that it's purpose is to "make a space for people who think of themselves as being on the edge of Christianity". In some senses, that sentence sums up the book, in other senses, it does not.
From the point of view of this amateur theologian, Holloway is simply expounding the best of modern Christian theology, albeit from a "liberal Christian" point of view. However, I am well aware from personal experience that many people do not know that it is possible to be a Christian without (quoting Holloway) having "...imposed upon them burdens of guilt and hypocrisy...and oppression." If Holloway's own description resonates with you, then this is definitely a book you will want to read.
Subject matter covered includes: the existence of God, the incarnation, biblical fundamentalism, human suffering, sex, marriage, divorce and homosexuality, Christian community, Christian ethics and the role of the church in today's world.
Holloway is the former Anglican Bishop of Edinburgh and I believe (although am not entirely certain) that he has now returned to university lecturing in Theology.
