About the Author
"Tim Gorringe has yet again written Christian theology for our times in what amounts to his summa theologiae in which the global emergency is illuminated by his profound understanding of the Christian tradition, of the world in which we live and his wide reading. He brings the priority of the prophetic experience in Scripture to his understanding of Christian theology. As a result, that tradition becomes an apocalyptic lens through which to view the ‘global emergency’. He demonstrates the truth of Camus’s words that ‘the pestilence is at once blight and revelation (i.e. apocalypse). It brings the hidden truth of a corrupt world to the surface’. His book is truly a word for our times."
