Growing Up into the Children of God: Exploring the Paradoxes of Christian Maturity

A strong, mature faith is vital for Christians and for the life of the Church.

Reflecting on his own faith journey and nearly 40 years of ministry in the Church of England, David Newman offers ways of thinking about and experiencing faith which equips individuals in their growth as people and as Christians.

The book offers a dialogue between some of the easily polarized groups in the Church, such that the energy and wisdom of each might benefit the other and the whole. At a time when the Church is increasingly demarcated and even divided by age, theological outlook and styles of worship Christians need to create frameworks of understanding that enable then to be credible witnesses in today's complex and fragmented world.
