The starting point for Christianity lies within its practice, says the author, and not in the blind acceptance of a chunk of undigested doctrine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book samples fiction, poetry, art and music, combined with the wisdom of scripture and theology, to help pilgrims make sense of faith in the context of everyday life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shaw reconsiders the central doctrines of Christian faith through the lens of how we practice them. She explores five themes: dust, forgiveness, time, doubt and love-devoting a chapter to each. This thematic approach is a way of presenting (covertly, since it's not revealed until the end of the book) the doctrines of Creation and Sin, Forgiveness, the Trinity, Salvation, and finally Love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819227765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819227768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morehouse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Jane Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050829869311,"sku":"9780819227768","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3c5dc2f-88c8-4b4a-83ec-f4fe2e6cda06.jpg?v=1685009489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-practical-christianity-jane-shaw-9780819227768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
