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".

These turbulent priests - objections to traditional beliefs; John Robinson and the images of God - is God only the depth of what is obviously real?; Don Cupitt and the reality of God - is religion only human?; Maurice Wiles and the activity of God - does God interfere after creation?; Geoffrey Lampe and the Incarnation of God - was Jesus only a man filled by the Spirit of God?; John Bowden and the facts about Jesus - what do we know about the man behind the gospels?; Dennis Nineham and the relevance of Jesus - is revelation is culture-bound, is it authoritative?; John Hick and the uniqueness of Jesus - is Jesus of Nazareth the world's only saviour?; what, then, should we believe?.
