About this title

Synopsis

For Generation Y, born after 1982, Margaret Thatcher is a piece of social history, relationships happen over the Internet and music marks their territory. How does this generation think about the world? What does their spirituality look like? And what implications does this have for the Church? "Making Sense of Generation Y" addresses the urgent need for the Church to reconnect with young people in today's society, and to communicate with them in a way they can understand. Through researching the relationship young people aged 16-25 have to the popular arts (soaps, film, music, clubbing, advertising and culturally iconic images), the authors explore the implications of their worldview for youth work and youth ministry as well as the wider church.
