"A Search for Authentic Christianity" asks the question, "Have we
come dangerously near to missing authentic Christianity?" Authentic
God-centered Christianity is compared to Man-centered Christianity.
"Search" makes clear that the foundation for all reality is the
Moral Character of God. Tracy and Manning delineate the underlying
and motivational aspects of God's character as found in Exodus
34:6-7. The Character of Christ, as a reflection of God's
character, is described as revealed in the New Testament. In light
of the Character of Jesus, the book discusses the call that Jesus
gives to all who would follow Him. The call is to choose Jesus for
His sheer beauty and worth rather than any hope of reward or fear
of punishment. His call is to a partnership rather than an
agreement with some man-made doctrinal list. Just as relationships
between persons must grow or deteriorate, our relationship with
Christ is to be vibrant and transformational. Grace and Faith are
defined in light of this understanding. "Search" defines what the
goal of Christ is: the production of Christians who are like Him in
their characters. The book answers the question of "How?" by
discussing growing conditions for the disciple's journey toward
Christlikeness. The Beatitudes are discussed as the foundational
attitudes and values of the Christlike person. Strategies are
presented to foster a truly serving Christlike community.
