Why I am a Christian

The churches attack secular liberalism as a threat to their power, but actually it's the ally of true Christian culture

 

Theo Hobson, Guardian, UK, March 24, 2008

 

So my attraction to Christianity is two-fold. It comes from the sense that without faith there is despair, that the highest form of psychology is faith-based. And it is rooted in the quasi-socialist ideal of the Kingdom of God. Christianity is the true idiom of social hope - and also of psychological realism. It teaches us to hope for a new world, a healed world, and it teaches us to suspect ourselves. We are subject to endless demonic temptation, but we know that Satan is defeated by Christ. This is what we celebrate at Easter, of course: Christ's cosmic victory over evil and death. Some will dismiss this as mere myth, with no basis in reality. I call it the true myth, in which one can choose to root one's life.......

 

Theo Hobson was born in West London. He studied English literature at York, then theology at Cambridge. He did his PhD thesis on Protestant theology and rhetoric; which became his first book - The Rhetorical Word: Protestant Theology and the Rhetoric of Authority (Ashgate 2002).
