Christianity Matters: In These troubled Times

by Dr Kevin Donnelly (Editor)

Christianity is one of the foundation stones of Western civilization and liberal democracies and its strengths and benefits far outweigh its sins.

In his latest collection, Kevin Donnelly, one of Australia’s leading conservative commentators, looks at how in an increasingly radical, secular society dominated by cancel culture, Judeo-Christianity is attacked and condemned and why now more than ever faith matters and should be fought for. The Bible and Christianity more broadly have been and continue to be a major influence on Australia’s political and legal systems, the arts, literature, music, architecture and the language we speak. Judeo-Christianity also provides a moral and ethical compass deciding right from wrong as well as a spiritual, transcendent sense of our place in the world.

In education, health, aged care and social welfare Christianity is also vitally important and beneficial. Christianity Matters  is a reminder of why the Christian faith matters to us as individuals and a nation and gives readers a deep knowledge, understanding and appreciation of how Judeo-Christianity underpins and informs our way of life.

[Kev Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Christianity Matters is a very good read in two ways: Each essay can be read separately and then digested. The next essay does not follow on. Secondly the book gives a good overview which can help our understanding of why Christianity (mainly Catholic) has declined in the so-called West while booming in what we call the Third World. No punches are pulled in outlining the Church's sins and failings but one comes away from the read with hope that a smaller, more Church will evolve in time when the 'Spirit' gives it the leadership it deserves. Thirdly the book is very easy to read and understand.
A good read for seekers of the understanding mentioned above.
