4.0 out of 5 stars
compelling overview of the emerging "post-liberal church.",
By A Customer
This review is from: Good News in Exile: Three Pastors Offer a Hopeful Vision for the Church (Paperback)
The authors - two pastors and a college chaplain - write from personal experience of the new "post-liberal" perspective emerging within the Protestant mainline churches. Thoughtful and readable, the book is particularly suited to the lay person who has felt that the church should be more than a well-intentioned institution dedicated to "making the world a little nicer," but has not been able to identify where the problem lay, or what the solution might be.

This review is from: Good News in Exile: Three Pastors Offer a Hopeful Vision for the Church (Paperback)
This book is a meditation by three well known pastors in mainline circles who actually find a hopeful opportunity in liberal christianity's move away from the center of American life to the margins. The make a compelling case that the church was shackled by being the establishment and that now it is no longer as prominent it is actually free to be the church rather than just an instituition within society.
