Today many pastors are struggling to adapt to a post-Christian
culture without abandoning orthodox theology. How do we communicate
the concepts of grace and substitutionary atonement in our
globalized culture and context? In Center Church, Timothy Keller
offers challenging insights and provocative questions based on over
twenty years of ministry in New York City. This book outlines a
theological vision for ministry - applying classic doctrines to our
time and place - organized around three core commitments:
* Gospel-centered: The gospel of grace in Jesus Christ changes
everything, from our hearts to our community to the world. It
completely reshapes the content, tone and strategy of all that we
do.
* City-centered: With a positive approach toward our culture,
we learn to affirm that cities are wonderful, strategic and
underserved places for gospel ministry.
* Movement-centered:
Instead of building our own tribe, we seek the prosperity and peace
of our community as we are led by the Holy Spirit.
"In this
important book, Tim Keller unpacks the gospel and gently but firmly
reminds us that it is nonnegotiable. At the same time, he enables
us to think through how we can responsibly interact with the
culture, how we can - indeed, must - appreciate good things within
it, and how we can firmly and faithfully apply the gospel to it." -
D.A. Carson, research professor of New Testament, Trinity
Evangelical Divinity School
