A popular speaker and blogger, Brewin is synched with the global network of theologians and church leaders casting a fresh vision of Christianity for progressive, evangelical, emergent and mainline communities "With Other, Kester joins the community of] leading public theologians for a new generation of thoughtful Christians. He moves gracefully from Scripture to philosophy to pop culture to sociology and back to Scripture again, offering fresh, honest, and needed insights at each turn." -Brian McLaren International terrorism, racism, youth violence and religious fundamentalism ... our willingness to engage "the other" is at the heart of the majority of contemporary challenges today. Beginning with Jesus' instruction to love God and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, Kester Brewin explores how we might better engage "the other" within the Self, within God and within the worlds we inhabit. Drawing on the author's work as theologian, church founder, poet and teacher, this accessible and highly original work prompts us to reconsider the key question, "What kind of selves do we need to be in order to live in harmony with others?" and lays out a fresh vision for Christian practice and community in the 21st century."
