Each of the 235 articles provide both background information as well as biblical and spiritual guidance in a thoughtful and balanced way. They are not intended to give final answers to the problems but seek to act as a stimulus to further and better informed reflection. This book does not shy away from what is sensitive and even controversial. Articles range from the Abuse of Children to Racism, from Divorce to the Arms Trade.
