Saint Therese of Lisieux: A Model for Our Times

Description

The book first examines the radical cultural shift that has reshaped America and what it means for congregations that find themselves increasingly marginalized from society at large. Despite the host of new challenges posed by our contemporary situation, the authors see in them fresh opportunities for hearing the gospel again as good news in our postmodern, post-Christian culture. In the rest of the book the authors show how this foundational discussion translates into applied ministry and offer fresh methods to help the church live more faithfully and witness with greater confidence today.;In Confident Witness -- Changing World, twenty-two scholars and skilled ministry practitioners explore this complex question not only theoretically but also in practical terms immediately useful to pastors and church leaders.;Designed to serve as a springboard for group discussion or for deeper study of the subjects covered, this volume will be a valuable resource for those currently working on the front lines of ministry.
