Suburbia: Paradise or Wasteland? Suburbia is a place of spiritual
yearnings. People come to suburbia looking for a fresh start, the
second chance, a new life. It embodies the hopes and longings of
its residents, dreams for the future, safety and security for their
children, and the search for meaningful community and
relationships. Yet much in our suburban world militates against
such aspirations, and people find themselves isolated and
alienated, trapped by consumerism and materialism. Is there hope
for a Christian vision for the suburbs? Al Hsu unpacks the
spiritual significance of suburbia and explores how suburban
culture shapes how we live and practice our faith. With broad
historical background and sociological analysis, Hsu offers
practical insights for living Christianly in a suburban context.
Probing such dynamics as commuting and consuming, he offers
Christian alternatives for authentic spirituality, genuine
community and relevant ministry. And he challenges suburban
Christians to look beyond suburbia and marshal their resources
toward urban and global justice. Suburbia may be one of the most
significant mission fields of the twenty-first century. Here is
guidance and hope for all who would seek the welfare of the
suburbs.
