Others: A Very Short Book About Beliefs

by Martyn The Very Revd. Professor Percy

Overview

Do we really understand others and their beliefs? Martyn Percy believes that if we better understand the people in our churches, in our communities and in our societies, then we might cultivate more ease in the 21st century, not only in local and national politics but also in international politics. Others: A Very Short Book About Beliefs takes a curious, anti-prejudiced look at some weird and wacky beliefs. And although odd beliefs are wryly observed throughout, its subversive subtext aims to challenge people not to write off others’ beliefs as irrational, weird or daft but to invite the reader to reconsider others in the light of what we don't know.
