What are the theological foundations of Christian ministry? What
should a vital Christian ministry look like in the world today?
Teacher and veteran of urban ministry Bryan Stone addresses these
important questions in an engaging and challenging book.
Compassionate Ministry explores systematically the relationship
between Christian doctrines of God, church, and human existence,
and the focus and meaning of ministry today. It offers a solid
introduction to the theology of ministry through an approach rooted
in the compassion of God, which Stone shows is evident throughout
the scriptures and made real in the incarnation and ministry of
Jesus. Compassionate Ministry locates a primary focus in the
experience of suffering and poverty which marks daily life for the
majority of people today. Stone builds continually on this insight,
drawing out the dimensions of a humanizing ministry that
participates in restoring the "image of God" in which all have been
created: an image of freedom, humanity, community. Understanding
God as all-compassionate, and Jesus as the Compassion of God, this
book provides a model of a compassionate church as a "liberating
community: " people who, knowing what they believe, work and
worship together in the service of humanizing praxis in their own
community, and in the world at large. Finally, this ministry call
for "compassionate evangelism" which proceeds itself from the
community, as a more holistic and historical approach than current
consensus might suggest.
