Download or read book The Courage to Love written by William Sloane Coffin (Jr.) and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1982 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these essays, which were originally delivered as sermons, Coffin argues that religion has fallen on hard times. He offers a cogent means of recovering a faith true to the spirit of the Bible and able to face up to the uncertainties of the present age. Brings essential biblical insights to bear on such issues as arms race, abortion, homosexuality, separation of church and state, communism, the Moral Majority and the true meaning of "Born again." In his vision, the churches can become centers of creative and courageous thinking, and not mere sanctuaries for frustrated men unable to meet the questions of moral and intellectual uncertainty.
