"Is there anything unique about human beings? What is our place in the world and what will our future be, especially in the light of ever accelerating developments in science and technology? Humanity Matters eloquently argues that Homo sapiens remains an irreplaceable marvel, and not simply because of the new things we've discovered in recent times: also because of the old qualities we've forgotten about. To rediscover who we really are, we need to go back to the beginning of the human story, back to "the old source of our enchantment". This book elegantly tackles deep matters of society and soul in an accessible and persuasive way, noting the key voices and views that have shaped our view of humanity from the ancient world through to the present day. I wholeheartedly commend Humanity Matters. If you want to think deeply about what it really means to be human - this book is for you."
— Sharon Dirckx, speaker and author of Am I Just My Brain?, among others

"In response to a culture that has lost confidence in what it means to be human, Humanity Matters offers a sweeping exploration of our identity, dignity and destiny. Andrew Fellows invites us to reconsider the Christian vision of humanity as not only compelling but essential, cutting through today's marketplace of disenchanted identities. With penetrating insight, Fellows calls us to rediscover the enchantment of being made human in relation to God, and the hope that only a restored Christian humanism can bring."
— Matt Lillicrap, CEO, UCCF

"Andrew Fellows' dexterity in bringing together a range of sources from different spheres - including theology, literature, psychology, philosophy and science - to illumine the needs of the soul is impressive. In this accessible and highly readable book on humanity, Fellows often writes like a poet and reasons like a lover of wisdom."
— Krisztina Mair, Lecturer in Philosophy, Ethics and Apologetics, Oak Hill College

"Andrew Fellows' calling is to be a translator of the word to the people in the world, and also to explain the world to the people of the word. Andrew's book Humanity Matters does both, and is a profound and insightful analysis of human beings and human nature, a central element of every person's worldview. This book is particularly timely amid the modern world's crisis of identity. Any reader will need to wrestle with how well their worldview explains the complex, emotional, self-oriented, relational, driven, moral and reasoning person that they (and all humans) are."
— Greg Pritchard, Director, European Leadership Forum
