Modern Theology for Agnostics From the readers David Gravells speaks with detailed knowledge and acute insight
of matters affecting all of us on the journey of faith, upsetting
a few theological apple carts in the process, and not before time. David Gravells’ books are full of intriguing
questions, and provocative attempts at answers.
Anyone with an interest in Christian history, and the
early history of the Jewish and Islamic faiths, will
get an interesting and lively read from this book. David Gravells’ booklet on Augustine is a remarkable thing in
our day. Here we observe an Anglican layperson engaging
with the life and thought of one of the most complex of all
Christian thinkers. I find two things especially to commend:
first, the curiosity that has motivated Gravells to read, learn
and inwardly digest the thought of this great theologian, and
secondly, his effort to pursue relevant connections between
the ancient church and our own. As Gravells writes, “We as
inheritors of the faith need to be aware of what the early
fathers were trying to do
for us, and we need to try
to understand the nature
of our religion in the terms
of our forefathers.” Gravells
practices what he preaches.
