Description and Table of Contents

Description

The last century has seen the undermining of Christian values in the West as influenced by Marx, Freud and Nietzsche and the phenomenal growth of the Church in Latin America, Southern Africa and parts of the Far East. So, after such a shift in its centre of gravity, what is the function of the Church today? Is it, as Marx described it, flowers on the chains continue to oppress us, or have we seen, in the words of Nietzsche, the death and burial of God? The author discusses the key issues that dominate the beliefs and thought of today.
