Faithful Resistance: Gospel Visions for the Church in a Time

Faithful Resistance: Gospel Visions for the Church in a Time of Empire

â€œIs it possible for a church that has been at the heart of Empire for as long as we have
to make a course correction and move intentionally from the center of Empire to the margins?â€

Rick Ufford-Chase has touched the deep longing that exists in so many of us who are Christian in the United States, and responded with ideas that offer a future we know God has in store for us but canâ€™t seem to imagine is really possible. This is a book we should read and discuss with friends who share our longing and are ready to take a risk. If this book stays in our heads, it fails and we fail. If we use it as a springboard for daring, it is quite likely to change everything about being church in the heart of Empire.

Fourteen contributing authors offer their own ideas for ways to move the Christian church to a place of faithfulness in the midst of the empire, and Rick adds his own observations about the compromised condition of our church institutions with concrete suggestions for bringing us home to the heart of the gospel.

Herbert Nelson, II, John Nelson, Laura Newby, GermÃ¡n ZÃ¡rate. Foreword by Carol Howard Merritt.
