This journey through different areas of Christianity explores concepts such as the Trinity, the Holy Spirit and the sacraments, and discusses who Jesus was, how we know God, the relationship of God, man and sin, the meaning of the cross and the place of prayer and worship.

Transcripts of 26 wide ranging radio talks by the author. Priestland doggedly maintains he is a Journalist: one that happens to believe there is more to the world than people killing each other or demanding higher pay.

“I tried throughout my Progress, to commence each stage by recording as honestly as I could what I found I believed…. I found that I had no doubt of the existence of a personal God with whom there was a two-way communication. What I did doubt was the reliability of the Bible as the key to understanding his will… (page 30)
“The doctrine of the Holy Spirit, of which I made such heavy weather, seems to me essentially about our response to God: the divine within responding to the divine without. I am persuaded that it is a useful tool, especially for those seized with the conviction of God’s active presence in eth Church today….
Much the same thing happened with the Trinity. Again, I can see how the doctrine arose and there is no doubt that many of Christendom’s best minds still find a useful tool. More than that they find it a convincing expression of the God they experience. I heard many justifications of Trinitarians…[but] All of them seemed to me to be straining our language to the point where the creaking and groaning of it was proving distraction; and when in conversation with , .. we began to wonder ‘Why not a Quaternity, to include the feminine element in the Godhead?’ I became convinced it was time to keep mathematics out of religion. So I shall defend Trinitarianism to the death, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” (pg 213)
