My Theology:

The world's leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs.

'In one's encounters with the spectres of God one can become at peace with limitation, precariousness, lack of certainty, and one's fragility and fractures,' writes Rachel Mann. 'Equally, one can find in divine fragility the hope of the world.'

In three chapters – on the body, on love, and on time – Mann explores how God invites us to live in a rich three-dimensional mystery which subverts the mundane experiences of modern life and reveals a world rich with purpose at every point.

To be human, she explains, holds together the truths that we are made in blessing, live in complexity, and called into promise.
