| Summary: | We live in an age in which the ultimacy of anything, and not least of God or religion, is again much disputed. Sometimes we seem to be exposed between the battle lines of those who believe all too little and those who believe all too much.

Whatever our differences, ‘Christian discipleship is committed to the ultimacy of Jesus, whatever language we may use to express it and whatever action it demands’ (p. 6). Jesus Christ as person is ultimately significant for us as persons. |
