How many times do you hear the words, 'It's in the Bible', and stop to think, 'Yes, fine, but what does it all mean to me today?'That's where Alan Robinson's clear but informal guide to the scriptures and Christian ethics is really useful. He addresses fundamental issues - where do we stand regarding our creator, God? - and more worldly ones: Who is our neighbour? How do we deal with relationships and sexuality, and problems such as IVF, euthanasia and the earth's resources?A glossary of terms and a list of ethical topics matched by biblical references completes the picture. Strait is the gate, and narrow the way, to life... but here's an excellent signost from an active Christian who has seen the light and dark of living, and examined many of its facets.Alan Robinson studied theology at the iniversity of Edinburgh and spent many years teaching the subject. He was Principal Lecturer in Theology and Religious studies at a college in Derby. He has previously published a set of children's books in Religious Education, several thoelogical books, some poetry and some fiction.
