Christianity is the world's largest religious grouping. It
underwent massive change in the twentieth century, and seems poised
to undergo major transformations in the next. In this important and
timely book, one of Christianity's most prolific and respected
writers examines these changes, and their implications for the
future. Will Christianity survive? And if so, in what forms? And
what might its impact be upon culture? How does its past affect its
future? What does the future hold for the various types of
Christianity?
This witty yet highly informed book deals with issues such as
the crisis in confidence within western Christianity, the impact of
postmodernity on Christianity, and the shift in numerical strength
from the west to Africa and Asia. It questions whether traditional
Protestant denominations are likely to survive in their present
form, and charts the rise of various forms of post-denominational
Christianity. It explores the impact of a consumer culture on
western Christianity, and the changes this has brought about in
approaches to evangelism and church growth. Finally, the work
documents the gulf that has opened up between academic theology and
the life of the church, and offers a penetration Gramscian analysis
of how this situation has arisen, and what can be done to remedy
it.
Accessibly written, this book will be essential reading for
students, academics and general readers interested in religion,
Christianity, postmodern theology, and the key controversies in
current Christian thinking.
