Patrick Dixon: The Future Is Faith, Gebunden

Klappentext

We all place our trust in things we cannot fully prove - and we do it every day. We trust that a plane will land safely, and that the food we eat will nourish rather than harm us. Life runs on belief long before it reaches certainty. Yet when it comes to spirituality, why do some people embrace faith with confidence while others struggle to believe at all?
As a physician, Patrick Dixon has seen how belief engages both sides of the human mind. The analytical left brain, with its drive for logic, language, structure, and evidence, often asks the hard questions: Is this true? Does this make sense? Meanwhile, the intuitive rightbrain, shaped by imagination, intuition, relationship, and meaning, recognises beauty, purpose, and the presence of God in ways that transcend analysis. Christian faith speaks powerfully to both - offering a coherent story that satisfies reason while awakening the deeper longings of the heart.
And never has this mattered more than now. Our world is in turmoil: political turmoil, economic chaos, cultural conflicts, war, rapid techno change, and rising personal anxiety. Many feel unanchored and lost, unsure whom to trust or what to believe. In such a climate, people instinctively reach for something - or Someone - that can hold steady, hence the rapid growth in Christianity in many parts of the world. This global struggle between faith and doubt reflects the deep psychological and spiritual tensions of our age.
Drawing on more than thirty years as a global futurist, Patrick Dixon explores the forces reshaping spirituality and Christian belief across continents. In this deeply relevant book, he reveals six powerful "faces" of faith that will define the future of the Church, challenge longheld assumptions, and invite readers into a richer, more grounded walk with Jesus. This is a call to understand the spiritual currents of our time - and to rediscover the hope, purpose, and truth at the heart of the Christian story.
