Why I Am a Christian
Those who remain Christians and do not leave the church must be able to answer questions in our current age. But being a Christian has never been easy. In every era, the followers of Jesus have had to justify their faith. Christian Heidrich takes this tradition and gives it a contemporary colour in three essayistic chapters: In “The Gift,” he describes the enthralling sound of the Jesus story in the New Testament; in “Citizens Like Beggars,” he reflects on the reasons why the Christian community is successful; in “The Unfinished,” he develops fragments of a spirituality that draws its strength from the movement and not from possession. This book confidently creates a dialogue about the strengths of being a Christian.
