This work argues that it is better to use Christianity as good poetry than as bad science, and although the author sets out to deconstruct its doctrines, "my intention is positive; it is to craft from the Christian past a usable ethic for our own time". The book is a rescue attempt, an argued case for salvaging the challenge of Jesus by revealing the essence of his teachings and showing why they remain revolutionary, humane and of massive spiritual importance.

Book Description:
A passionate and important book on the state of Christianity from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Leaving Alexandria
From the Back Cover:

"I don't know when I have been more impressed, indeed, excited, by a work ... It answers the seemingly tormenting
questions in a completely satisfying way." Ruth Rendell

In Doubts and Loves, Richard Holloway sets out to interrogate traditional ways of understanding the Bible. He reexamines the doctrines of Christianity in order to craft a practical ethic for our own time, seeking to liberate the power of these great themes from their sometimes antiquated settings.

Holloway's radical book revels in pluralism, making cultural, political, sociological and philosophical connections that offer spiritual hope. Doubts and Loves is a heartfelt and passionately argued case for reclaiming the challenge of Jesus by revealing the essence of his teachings and showing why they remain revolutionary.

"This book offers the churches hope but, more importantly, has something to say to each of us." Joan Bakewell

"It will appeal to all of us who continue to be interested in the moral challenge of our times ... For Holloway, the moral challenge is not who should be excluded, but how to include the whole world." Jeanette Winterson

"Lucid and exhilarating." Independent on Sunday
