‘A revived sense of ourselves as embodied creatures – bodies of particular times and places who are nevertheless like all other human bodies, made in God’s image and for a purpose – will help address nearly every crisis we face as a church and a civilization today.’ (Karen Swallow Prior in the Foreword)

A clear sense of our identity and purpose is vital if we are to flourish and be fruitful as human beings. Jake Meador is the editor-in-chief of Mere Orthodoxy, an online magazine covering the Christian faith in the public sphere. What are Christians for? explores who we are as Christians and what our purpose is in the world.
