Methodism started out as a missional alternative to establishment
Christianity, but is now like the establishment Christianity it
once critiqued. In this book, Dr. Hunter asks whether enough New
Testament Christianity exists in any institutional form of
Christianity, including The United Methodist Church, to change the
world. If United Methodism is to survive, it must recover bold
directions in ministry, in addition to Wesley s theological vision.
If only it was so simple as to stand on Wesley s shoulders to see
our way forward. This means that laity and clergy must be
biblically informed, spiritually energized, and systematically
organized. If United Methodism is to thrive, it needs to focus on
mission, recalling that early Methodism was an extravagant
expression of missional Christianity. Net membership decline is not
from losing more people but from reaching fewer people than it used
to. The need for the gospel of Jesus Christ is greater than ever.
United Methodists must create structures and serve God and neighbor
in order to spread, as Wesley admonished, scriptural holiness
throughout the land. George G. Hunter III is Distinguished
Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism at Asbury Theological
Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He is the author of several books,
including Radical Outreach and The Celtic Way of Evangelism, both
published by Abingdon Press."
