About This Book

A series of letters speaks to readers uneasy about reliance on biblical miracles, arguing that the essential spiritual message of Christianity can survive the removal of literal supernatural claims. It examines knowledge, faith, imagination, worship, and the nature of miracles in both Testaments; considers the incarnation and resurrection from a natural, spiritual standpoint; discusses prayer, heaven and hell, Pauline theology, and pastoral responsibilities; and proposes a natural Christianity that preserves devotion while inviting critical and imaginative engagement with scripture.
