No Religion but Social Religion

Liberating Wesleyan Theology  

by Joerg Rieger
Paperback

Grace changes everything.

This book invites you to rethink core concepts of the Christian faith in the invigorating, life-giving light of grace that has the power to free us and change everything. We all live with the pressures of life, but those at the margins of society struggle mightily. Too many of us, who enjoy some of the privileges of life, are preoccupied with ourselves, our problems, our idiosyncratic view of self and other. We cannot see the possibilities of life that lay beyond us. But we cannot formulate hopes and dreams for the future without re-envisioning our self-serving images of God, unless… This book is not about religion or morality. It is about grace, grace that works in, and sometimes through, the grit of everyday life to liberate us in sync with the struggles of others around the world.
