The Elephant in the Room Christopher Huggett

These short, readable essays are aimed at theology students, ministers and ordinands and investigate some of the problems of engaging with the New Testament. Revd Christopher Huggett is a retired Anglican priest, a New Testament scholar and a process theologian. His work is informed and erudite, but is easily understood by the ordinary person. It is firmly grounded in traditional Christianity, but is relevant and pertinent to the twenty-first century. Christopher has a unique approach to the New Testament, which gives surprising insights into the history and thinking of the first Christians and challenges many conventional Christian assumptions. He has published these findings in a series of New Testament studies, the most significant of which is "Christian Beginnings". His monumental work, "The Chronological New Testament", now includes five volumes. His writing is essential reading for Christian theologians, for ordinary Christians and for those enquiring about Christian faith in the modern world.
