Andrew Fitz-Gibbon uses five contemporary Christian social thinkers, from different traditions, as conversation partners. Through his examination of these thinkers, Fitz-Gibbon explores how the church may continue to truthfully narrate the Christian story in the midst of the moral tensions of late-capitalist Western society. His creative conclusion is that the church at the beginning of the twenty-first century can move toward a resolution of the central tension of \"being in the world,but not of the world\" through a synthesis of the believers' church tradition and an affirmation of communitarian liberal democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55182926905718,"sku":"9780739101193","price":141.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27192731.jpg?v=1737643957","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780739101193-in-the-world-but-not-of-the-wo","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
