How can Christianity touch the imagination of our contemporaries when ever fewer people in the West identify as religious?
Timothy Radcliffe argues we must show how everything we believe is an invitation to live fully. God says: 'I put before you life and death: choose life'.
Anyone who understands the beauty and messiness of human life - novelists, poets, filmmakers and so on - can be our allies, whether they believe or not. The challenge is not today's secularism but its banality.
We accompany the disciples as they struggle to understand this strange man who heals, casts out demons and offers endless forgiveness. In the face of death, he teaches them what it means to be alive in God. Then he embraces all that afflicts and crushes humanity.
Finally, Radcliffe explores what it means for us to be alive spiritually, physically, sacramentally, justly and prayerfully. The result is a compelling new understanding of the words of Jesus: 'I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.'
A former Master of the world-wide Dominican Order, Timothy Radcliffe is now based in Oxford but spends much of his year giving retreats, lectures and conference key-note addresses in the UK and overseas.
He was the winner of the 2007 Michael Ramsey prize for theological writing for his book What is the Point of Being a Christian?. He was the author of The Archbishop of Canterbury's 2009 Lent Book Why Go to Church? His other books include Alive in God, Take the Plunge and I Call You Friends, all published by Bloomsbury Continuum.
