Book excerpt: In Fiction, Faith and Humanity, Neil Brown considers the central predicament of what it means to be human in the twenty-first century. Namely: how can we make sense of a world that no longer seems to believe in us, nor we in it? In an era of twenty-four hour news coverage, where social media continues to present us with a surfeit of stories that render the evils of our time banal, Brown provides us with an astute and timely reminder of the radical goodness of literature and the importance of reclaiming the space to deliberate upon who we are and what we are becoming. Brown's insights into the human condition are compassionate and fearless in equal measure. Taking us on a journey into the depths of what it means to be human, Brown's narrative evidences the author's magisterial command of literature and theology, his sagacious ability to get to the heart of the matter and his extraordinary capacity to render anew the multitudinous exigencies of being alive in our times. In this truly remarkable work, Brown astutely reminds us that there are no easy answers to understanding our humanity, but that life might not be worth living if we don't continue to ask the questions that remain central to confronting who we are. A must-read for anyone attempting to make sense of the chaos which humanity finds itself confronting today.
