Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West

• Speaks to the bewilderment and helplessness many churches feel in the face of current events
• Practical new interpretation of changes in the West

Throughout its history, the church has faced crises of meaning and identity in all kinds of changing contexts. The crises facing the churches of the western hemisphere today are no different. At their best, churches have recognized that their challenge is not their own fixing or even “reformation” but a deep engagement with the ways the gospel transforms society. This book explores how this can happen again in a radically changing western world.
