Congregational Studies in the UK (eBook, PDF)

Christianity in a Post-Christian Context

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the first comprehensive introduction to congregational studies in the UK. Through a series of innovative essays, it explores the difference that the increasingly post-Christian nature of British society is making to life in Christian congregations, and compares this to the very different scenario which exists in the USA. Contributions from leading scholars in the field include both rich case studies of local communities and theoretical analyses which reflect on issues of method and develop broader understandings. Congregational studies is revealed as a rich and growing field of interest both for scholars across the disciplines and for all those involved in congregational life.
