Digging into the foundations of our cultural stories, authors Jo Frost and Peter Lynas expose the cracks in our culture’s understanding of what it means to be human. From what the media communicates about our self-worth, to how institutions prize some voices over others, we can see the impact of our culture’s shallow stories all around us, as they fail to help us live our lives to the full.
By contrasting our cultural narratives with the story of the Bible, we can see who God created us to be, and come to recognise that only in Jesus can we live truly fully human lives.
‘Being Human masterfully reorientates us towards the only story that ultimately makes sense of who we are … A remarkably timely book.’ – Justin Brierley
‘Practical, prayerful and ambitious. A Gospel-infused, wide-angle lens on contemporary society.’ – Jill Duff, Anglican Bishop of Lancaster
‘A great book about one of the most important but confusing questions of our time.’ – Professor Iain Provan, author of Cuckoos in our Nest: Truth and Lies about Being Human
