Reprinting some of his "Church Times" reviews but mostly offering fresh reflections, he analyzes the origins in Cambridge, the contrasting developments of John Robinson and Don Cupitt, the rejection of traditional doctrines by scholars of the stature of Maurice Wiles and Geoffrey Lampe, the challenges to the authority of the gospels voiced by John Bowden and Dennis Nineham, the new teaching of John Hick and others about Christianity's equality with other faiths, and the new perceptions of what is now orthodoxy. At the end he prints responses by those criticised, in the hope of deepening thought and dialogue. David Edwards also wrote "Religion and Change", "The Futures of Christianity", "Christian England" and "Essentials".
