Christopher L. Webber is an Episcopal priest with degrees in theology and an honorary doctorate. He has always used his scholarship to make teachings of the past accessible to ordinary Christians today. Among his thirty-plus books is his most recent biography of James W. C. Pennington, one of the leading African American voices in the preCivil War abolitionist movement. Webber lives in San Francisco, California.
Christopher Webber has hit on a faithful and creative way to bring
Paul's theological, ethical, and spiritual critique right to the
heart of American life. As does the Bible itself, so Webber's Dear
Friends relates our ultimate values to the questions and dilemmas
we face every day. I cannot think of a better way for both
beginning and lifelong Christians to engage and renew their faith.
Eminently readable, accessible, and yet highly sophisticated, these
letters will give both individual readers and congregational groups
real insight into the life of faith in 21st-century America.” The
Very Reverend Gary R. Hall, Dean, Washington National Cathedral
The idea is inspired. . . . Both imaginative and faithful . . .
undoubtedly a brilliant book.” Ian S. Markham, Dean and President,
Virginia Theological Seminary
A devoted and bold effort to apply Paul's thought about the world
as he knew it to the world we live in now.”Edward F. Duffy,
Presbyterian Pastor and Hartford Seminary Professor
Compellingly captures Paul's voice and expression in this series
of new letters on contemporary themes.” Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook,
Dean of Faculty, Claremont School of Theology
Webber’s imaginative and faithful retelling . . . is a wonderful
example of the translatability of the Good News.” Ian T. Douglas,
Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut
