What kind of world are we living in and moving into? Increasing political uncertainty, the decline of familiar institutions, growing concern for the environment.. In this thoughtful and far reaching study, Donald English looks first at the new forces driving our culture. He then describes the present state of our apparently shrinking Chruch against a background of a growing Church at world level and against important historical and ecumenical perspectives. With helpful discussion questions, he challenges us to consider what a Christian response might be to our fast changing society.
