This gospel of conditional love breeds anxiety and polarization.  Young shows how this demeans the true message of the gospels. He argues for the recovery of a spirituality of uncertainty and unconditional love as a basis for a renewal of contemporary Christian faith and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prose is dignified and polished, enriched by interesting examples, quotations, and historical notes. There is, behind the book, an obvious, clear, and measured reflective process that gives it spiritual depth, and more weight than scholarship alone. The structure is immaculate. -- Dr. Thaddeus Birchard","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041354514775,"sku":"9781561012329","price":12.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781561012329.jpg?v=1750949942","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-cost-of-certainty-9781561012329","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
