Beskrivning

New Churches: A Theology considers the theological issues and questions that surface from the starting of new churches in the UK context. Offering both a theology for starting new churches (to support, guide, encourage and challenge practitioners to plant fully Christian churches) and a theology from new churches (using new churches as an opportunity to explore vital theological, ecclesiological, and missiological questions we might otherwise miss), the book brings together some of those most significant voices in the conversation today, speaking from a wide spread of perspectives including theologians and practitioners, pioneers and planters, evangelical and Anglo-Catholic.Contributors include Mark Powley, John Valentine, Tina Hodgett, Christian Selvaratnam, Cathy Ross and John Wallace

"I am so grateful for this book. It is a rich nursery of insights and reflections aerating and fertilising the soil where new churches are emerging and growing. These reflections deepen the roots of our thinking and praxis as we uncover the depths and breadth of this divine movement of God in our generation. Dig and discover!"
