Review
"This thoroughly reworked and updated second edition provides students, lay people, and pastors with an insightful orientation to living the Christian life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Benne ... begins with a sprightly review of the Christian vision and ethos for daily living as the biblical message addresses the felt and formulated needs of a new generation of Americans.... Thought-provoking discussion questions and bibliographies heighten the usefulness of this volume for teaching and learning in the college classroom and in parish Bible studies."
