The World Turned Upside Down

The normal image of Christianity is of something nice, cosy, warm and largely irrelevant.  Belonging to the church is seen as the equivalent of belonging to a knitting club, or line dancing society.  If it floats your boat – that’s fine – but just don’t let it interfere with real life.  On the other hand, when we think of religion as revolutionary, that greatly alarms us.  The last thing we want is religious fanatics running our society.  In this series we look at how real Christianity is revolutionary – but in a way that is really surprising, deep and lasting.
