It can be difficult for individuals and faith communities to see how faith's wisdom can be a resource for the complex moral and religious questions of our time. Faith's Wisdom for Daily Living takes up the challenge of moving between doctrine and everyday life.

With thoughtfulness and clarity, Anderson and Miller-McLemore address two key questions:

• How can traditional theological categories inform faithful living today?
• What questions from Christian practice might reshape theological understanding?

By examining both questions through the lens of four challenging dimensions of the Christian life---ambiguity, frailty, sacrifice, and wonder---the authors offer profound insight into the common Christian struggle to live authentic lives of faith. Includes questions for discussion and additional resources.
