Becoming Fully Human provides a new Christian apologetic for our time. The author considers the condition of humanity: its brokenness and pain, and the human struggle with evil in its many forms; and he explains the meaning of transformation as taught by St Paul and lived out by countless Christian believers.
This is a book for all who are seeking the truth about themselves, about God, and about the claims made in the Bible.
“Patrick’s book is a readable, enjoyable yet serious description of human beings before mighty God because, let’s be clear about it, if this life is all, then all is futile and nothing is of value.”
George Carey, former Archbishop
of Canterbury 1991–2002
“If you like your theology direct, engaging, thought provoking, and completely understandable, then you should read this book. It is quite simply the best book on the ‘Doctrine of Man’ that I have ever read and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This is Christian apologetic of a rare type, meeting issues head on but using a light touch that forced many a wry smile from me. Many new books arrive heralded as ‘a new classic’, but this book deserves to have such a tag line. In fact it is so good that having finished it I’m tempted to start reading it again immediately.”
