It shamelessly steals all of their best ideas, while firmly rejecting their errors. It describes a perspective which is shared by many in the middle ground of the Church of England and elsewhere, but which is sadly rarely articulated with clarity and conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book therefore offers a map for understanding today's churches. It shows how to make sense of the historic arguments which divided Protestants and Catholics in the past, and the issues which divide Christians today (including the ordination of women, same-sex marriage, styles of worship and approaches to mission).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a faith which can take the text of the Bible more seriously than most of today's Evangelicals, can enjoy the beauty of traditional Christian worship more fully than most of today's Catholics, and can offer a deeper understanding of God's work in our changing world than most of today's liberals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe view from the centre of Christianity is a fascinating panorama, open to all to understand and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Revd Dr Keith Eyeons is a Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge, where he is the Chaplain and Director of Studies in Theology, Religion and Philosophy of Religion.

We become specialists in narrow fields, from Airbus pilots to Zulu historians, then find it difficult to see what all of these areas of expertise might mean together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes two radical claims. The first is that all of our human faculties have evolved to show us important things about the universe, including our appreciation of beauty, our ability to make scientific measurements, our awareness of meaning and goodness, and our experiences of consciousness and community. We usually divide these different kinds of insights among different professions, but we can gain a far deeper understanding of reality if we bring them all together. The second claim is that it is Christian theology which can reveal that unity, resuming a traditional role that it has largely abandoned in recent centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar more comprehensively than atheism, a belief in God can offer a framework which makes sense of all our experiences in one coherent, rational and inspiring picture, a true theory of everything.
