Although Christianity is the world's largest religion, there is
confusion over what it means to be Christian within contemporary
society. For individuals it is difficult to find, form, or receive
a Christian identity, let alone maintain one within a secular
world. Within organizations such as the church and professions
there is often a disconnection between public and private
identities and the reality of being Christian in our culture. For
society there is the problem of disparate portrayals of
Christianity, the marginalized status of Christianity with an
associated lack of influence of Christians on our society, and the
ongoing shaping of Christian identity by the public arena itself.
Associated questions are: should Christians try to engage in, and
even shape, the public arena and if so, how? This volume examines
the problem of confused and misunderstood Christian identity in a
post-Christian age. It suggests ways of shaping Christian identity
for the benefit of individuals and for the common good. The
importance of well-formed Christian identities is illustrated by
research and analysis of selected professions so that the public
life of Christians can be more fulfilling and effective. This book
will be valuable for all those who are interested in religious
identity within a secular society. People of faith and religious
organizations will benefit from a penetrating analysis of what it
means to be Christian today. Similarly, those whose work involves
the church, counseling, education and the performing arts will find
specific applications that address concerns about faith in the
workplace.
