Description: C. S. Song here invites religious persons on a journey of faith, exploring a new terrain: a world no longer presumptively Christian nor dominated by Western colonialism. In powerful and compelling ways he beckons readers --to explore new ways to think theologically, especially through story --to seek religious meaning in myriad stories from Hong Kong to San Francisco, from Palestine to My Lai, from Genesis to the Vedas --to harvest the insights of Lao Tzu as much as Anselm and to learn from the Buddha as well as Jesus --to trace divine love at work in the affairs of nations and humans.
In this rich store of narratives---tales of pain and distress, joy and courage, betrayal and redemption---Song discovers humans in search of God and God in the company of humans. His unconventional introduction to theology challenges the read to develop not only the believing mind but also the believing heart, indeed "to nurture a deepening experience of God as love."
