What is the Point of Being a Christian? has been awarded the prestigious Michael Ramsey prize for the best in theological writing. For more information please visit: www.michaelramseyprize.org.uk What is the Point of being a Christian? One is pointed to God, who is the point of everything. If one thinks of religion as just 'useful' then one has reduced it to another consumer product. But if we are pointed to God, then this should make a difference to how we live. This is not a moral superiority. Christians are usually no better than anyone else. But the lives of Christians should be marked by some form of hope, freedom, happiness and courage. If they are not then why should anyone believe a word they say? In this new book, Timothy Radcliffe is at his best, writing with a prophetic edge. His argument for Christian belief is profoundly Catholic and profoundly human. But what is just as remarkable, Radcliffe's argument for and interpretation of Christian Gospel is couched in a deep understanding of human nature and the problems and anxieties of modern men and women. Radcliffe is far distant from the theologian's ivory tower and yet his understanding of the Gospel is profoundly theological. The frame of reference for this book is wide, and it is based amongst other things on Fr Radcliffe's pastoral experience of dealing with people with problematic marriages, those struggling with celibacy, those trying to understand the nature of religious authority and those trying to remain loyal to the Church which finds their sexual orientation 'irregular'.

This book was written in my attempt to open the eyes of readers whose knowledge and understanding of God has been twisted and lied by the demagogues for so long. When it comes to faith and how it is practiced, readers should learn that people yesterday are no different from most people today. The only difference is the sophistication of current methods compared to what they have in the past. Giving example of this reality is by dissecting the elements of the Ten Commandments. You will note that man’s flaws yesterday as described in the Bible reflect the same flaws of our man today. We have to accept that man has been the same since the beginning of time. However, we cannot blame humanity for what they have been made to believe. Early thinkers, who are Jews, started the idea of one God based on signs, predictions, observations, miracles, and assumptions. They become successful in convincing the world that they have the first-hand knowledge of God and people should listen to them. Their orientation was formulated based on faith with little logic of science. People are generally unacquainted by predatory preaching, ignorant and vulnerable to the influence of more advance demagogues. People are ambushed by strong rhetoric, which the demagogues always have the upper hand. It is fair to say that they are led wrongly, exacerbated by ignorance, and simply taken advantage of that vulnerability. Let me conclude by saying that nobody can really understand the true nature of God. We simply have a hint of him, but we can uphold his power and benevolence by following the natural laws he imbedded in all of us. With that, the true love and salvation we can offer him is upholding the golden rule “Do to others as you would have them to you” (Luke 6:31). So help us God.

Idiots burn books for the same reason philosophers write them – they matter. But why exactly do political philosophy books matter, not to mention the hundreds of articles published every year? In part because they are interesting, but also because they are influential. They are mind-altering and, in turn, world-altering. Political philosophers write their books for the same reason political revolutionaries read them – they change the world. In this short and original book, Jonathan Floyd explains three things: what political philosophy is, how you can do it, and why you might want to. Accessibly written for those coming to the subject for the first time, it is also a must-read for scholars whose research takes in the nature, methods, and purposes of their field. It is also a must-burn for anyone who dreams of a dumber, thicker, less enlightened world.
