Where is God present in the world? What hope does the church offer
to folks who arestruggling with death and despair intheir many
forms, from broken relationships to lost jobs to the seeming lack
of meaning in our late-modern context? Some answer these questions
by pointing to churches that have had success in growing their
worship services and ministries. But Andrew Root invites us to
answer the questions from a different angle. Rather than place
primary focus on creating a successful church, he asks the church
to open its eyes to the suffering and hopelessness of the world, to
identify with and embrace it, because it is precisely in the world
s suffering that God isfound. Using Luther s theology of the
crossas a lens, Root shows how the church s willingness to become
weak for the world s sake results in a refocusing of Christian
living and ministry, which he examines through the categories of
discipleship, authentic hope, community, justice, and resurrection.
Thus, as with the other books in the Living Theology series, this
book brings theology to bear on life in suggestive and provocative
ways, encouraging readers to think theologically about their
specific contexts."
