A Top Ten Book for Parish Ministry in 2017, Academy of Parish
Clergy The loss or disaffiliation of young adults is a
much-discussed topic in churches today. Many faith-formation
programs focus on keeping the young, believing the youthful spirit
will save the church. But do these programs have more to do with an
obsession with youthfulness than with helping young people
encounter the living God? Questioning the search for new or
improved faith-formation programs, leading practical theologian
Andrew Root offers an alternative take on the issue of youth
drifting away from the church and articulates how faith can be
formed in our secular age. He offers a theology of faith
constructed from a rich cultural conversation, providing a deeper
understanding of the phenomena of the "nones" and "moralistic
therapeutic deism." Root helps readers understand why forming faith
is so hard in our context and shows that what we have lost is not
the ability to keep people connected to our churches but an
imagination for how and where God could be present in their lives.
He considers what faith is and what steps we can take to move into
it, exploring a Pauline concept of faith as encounter with divine
action. This is the first book in Root's Ministry in a Secular Age
series.
