The Church has a Past - has it got a Future? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915465825)

The book is packed full of history and enormous challenges.

It is an adventurous journey through the history of the Church and asks important questions for its future.

A well-crafted and fascinating pilgrimage, stopping often to be refreshed and challenged.

Andy Roland considers three fundamental questions:

Where were we? Where are we? Where could we be?

1. CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS

During 2000 years of Christianity, what questions arose from society to which the Church could give a response?

(spoiler alert - the questions kept changing)

1. NEW WORLD/NEW CONSCIOUSNESS

All major changes and developments since 2000 are described: from liberalism to autocracy, from graphene to CRISPR, from sexualities to AI, from mindfulness to food banks.

1. BEING CREDIBLE IN THE POST-MODERN WORLD

Has the Church got a future in the public square?

Only by reformulating its understanding of its sacred cows, such as the Bible, other faiths, sin and death.

Enjoy the Ride!
