If Christianity Is So Good, Why Are Christians So Bad? - Paperback
by Mark Coppenger (Author)
It is reasonable to expect that the followers of Jesus Christ would exude the same sort of moral goodness that he did. But what does it mean to be good? What does it mean for the reality of the Christian faith that Christians fail to live up to the standards set by the Bible? Mark Coppenger engages with these questions.
