A monolithic institution rooted in the past, many critics have claimed that it lacks the resources to adapt to modern society's needs and advances. In Re-thinking Christianity, Keith Ward argues persuasively that this view is not only uncharitable, but refuted by historical evidence. Mapping the evolution of six major beliefs, from the Hellenistic restatement to the challenged of evolutionary theory, Ward demonstrates that Christianity has always been expressed in constantly changing ways in response to new knowledge.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Keith Ward</note> <subject> <topic>Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church history</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church and the world</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W256-K28</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781851685066</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14962/61-dahh0unl-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14962/61-dahh0unl-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071426.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
