A Nazareth Manifesto: Being with God

Samuel Wells

Description

A Nazareth Manifesto is an eloquent and impassioned ecumenical proposal for re-envisioning Christianity’s approach to social engagement away from working “for” the people to being “with” them.

Questions the effectiveness of the current trend of intervention as a means of fixing the problems of people in distressed and disadvantaged circumstances
Argues that Jesus spent 90% of his life simply being among the people of Nazareth, sharing their hopes and struggles, therefore Christians should place a similar emphasis on being alongside people in need rather than hastening to impose solutions
Written by a respected priest and broadcaster and renowned Christian ethicist and preacher
Supported by historical, contemporary, exegetical and anecdotal illustrations
