on which I believe the Church should have a view," says Wells. The issues run the
gamut from social, political, personal, life-cycle to theological.
Some of the issues treated include Islam, migration, the rise of religious
extremism, dementia, Israel, marriage, LGBTQ identity, domestic violence, death,
shame, old age, retirement, assisted dying, ecology, obesity, inequality, Brexit, and
the Trump presidential election. "Sam Wells arguably has the liveliest, most agile, best informed, critically disciplined
mind in the entire Christian community; and he has a baptized heart of honesty,
compassion, and passion to match his baptized mind. In this book he ranges over
a cluster of complex issues, all the way from hard public questions of economics
and politics to the most pathos-filed personal issues of retirement, dementia, and
death. Concerning every issue, Sam's sound judgment instructs us as he moves
easily from life to Scripture and back through church tradition. This book will serve
many of us well who live with daily perplexities that admit no resolution."
—Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
