Is Christian 'tradition' to be maintained as the absolute body of
truth? Can it be used selectively depending on the preferences of
individual believers? What can 'religious truth' possibly mean in
our age of opinions and overwhelming cultural diversity? These are
unsettling questions for Christians, their effect aggravated by our
daily encounter with non-western cultures and non-Christian
religions, and by the increasing presentation of secularism and
atheism as the 'normal' way of life. In Never-Ending Prayer, Bert
Hoedemaker outlines the continuing importance of tradition, while
showing that in facing these challenges our understanding of
tradition needs a 'reset'. Drawing on his own experiences of world
Christianity, he reconstructs the Christian tradition in such a way
that it no longer defines and defends itself as a specific body of
concepts and practices over against 'the world' but as a living
community originating in and remaining in interaction with
humanity's permanent struggles. It is presented as a system of
religious imagination in which prayer is the driving force and
reconciliation is seen as the destination of humankind.
