Come with the author to South East Asia to the marketplace of ideas and clashing world views vying for a hearing, and consider with him what it is about the Christian world view that can offer hope to a beleaguered and fearful world.
Roland Chia of Trinity Theological College, Singapore, has penned a surprisingly comprehensive yet concise exposition of Christian hope as it is established in God, in radical contrast to both secular notions of ‘progress’ and ‘optimism’ and Hindu and Buddhist accounts of suffering and existence.
