About this title

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."
