In this book Stefan Paas offers thoughtful analysis of reasons and
motives for missionary church planting in Europe, and he explores
successful and unsuccessful strategies in that post-Christian
secularised context. Drawing in part on his own involvement with
planting two churches in the Netherlands, Paas explores
confessional motives, growth motives, and innovation motives for
church planting in Europe, tracing them back to different
traditions and reflecting on them from theological and empirical
perspectives. He presents examples from the European context and
offers sound advice for improving existing missional practices.
Paas also draws out lessons for North America in a chapter
coauthored with Darrell Guder and John Franke. Finally, Paas weaves
together the various threads in the book with a theological defense
of church planting. Presenting new research as it does, this
critical missiological perspective will add significantly to a
fuller understanding of church planting in our contemporary
context.
