LIVING TOGETHER IN A WORLD FALLING APART The classic "handbook on
Christian community," with updated reflections By Dave and Neta
Jackson When LIVING TOGETHER IN A WORLD FALLING APART was first
published in 1974, tensions in society-an unpopular war, racial
divisions, fearful economics, the seeming futility of "success,"
and widespread alienation-were not addressed in most churches.
Racism still thrived, worship meant three hymns and you're out, and
relationships had deteriorated to weekly handshakes. But many
believed-based on New Testament descriptions of the early
church-that this couldn't be all God planned for his people. These
restless souls eagerly read about Dave and Neta Jackson's personal
search as they experimented with household living and took a road
trip visiting the crop of emerging Christian communities around the
country. Written in a breezy, candid manner, LIVING TOGETHER became
not only a bestseller and classic "handbook on Christian
community," but provided perhaps the only sociological snapshot of
the many Christian communities from that era. Now, because many
conditions in church and society are repeating themselves, interest
in Christian community is reviving-whether through small groups,
house churches, the emerging church movement, the new monasticism,
or among Christians experimenting with communal living as a way to
be more faithful, effective, and connected. This updated edition
contains the original text of LIVING TOGETHER as well as many of
the Jacksons' personal reflections and evaluations after living in
Christian community for over 25 years, thereby providing nearly 30
percent new material.
