Afternoon of Christianity: The Courage to Change

This is a book about faith as a path to finding God in the midst of a changing world. Tomasz Halik, one of the most insightful contemporary theologians, reflects on the future of Christian faith. This book is a profound psychological, sociological and theological analysis of the modern Church and our world. Is today's crisis a catastrophe? Does the afternoon mean the approaching end of Christianity? Non-standard thoughts and bold judgments will not leave indifferent either supporters or opponents of the theological views of the author, who challenges our ideas about religion and encourages us to look for ways out of the crisis.

Temples, monasteries and seminaries are emptying, tens of thousands of people are leaving the Church. Christians are divided - today it is not only about disagreements between Churches, but also about disagreements within themselves. The Christian faith is no longer confronted with militant atheism. Today, the threat is much more serious - indifference.

And in this time of weariness and disappointment, it is worth giving Christianity another chance. Trying again does not mean doing the same thing again, including repeating old mistakes. It means swimming in the deep, waiting attentively, being ready for action. We must ask again and again "what the Spirit is saying to the Churches," trying to understand the signs of the times.
