Youth ministries in an urban context are too often left to their
own devices. The resources available to them are overwhelmingly
conceived, tested and produced exclusively in the suburbs, and
bring little to bear on the realities of urban youth culture. As a
consequence, youth ministries in large cities have tended to settle
onto one of three paths--a traditional paradigm that jealously
guards the spiritual formation of its young people, a liberal
paradigm that concentrates exclusively on personal growth, and an
activist paradigm that galvanizes youth around the social concerns
surrounding them. While each of these emphases is important, too
often they are pursued to the neglect of the others, and the urban
church suffers. Fernando Arzola Jr. proposes a fourth way, a
prophetic paradigm that integrates the three and cultivates young
people who are spiritually rooted, emotionally mature and
responsive to the needs of their community. In this pace-setting
book he draws on various disciplines--from biology to sociology,
from psychology to theology--to guide urban youth workers into an
effective and transformational ministry to youth.
