Book Synopsis The Quadrant Church by : Robert J. Irvin
Download or read book The Quadrant Church written by Robert J. Irvin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this writing is to produce a story of my experience as a Christian without being overly theological. It is an endeavor to understand my cultural relationships from a Christian cultural perspective. Many profound friends, teachers and pastors have been an immeasurable help and source of strength along the journey. Ministry is not for the faint of heart. Ministerial conviction develops very strong convictions of hope, faith, and prayer. The book is the result of six specific areas of Christianity that I have tried to address with family, church and friends. Many have helped to shape, mold, and at times anchor me. It is written to encourage people who are churched and unchurched to consider an awesome Savior in Christ Jesus; He who came to save the world from sin and reconcile man back to God. His Word says, “All men” are made in His image. That includes the sinner that has not yet been delivered into salvation. I give Him glory and take no credit of my own. This is my story replete with laughter, tragedy, shortcomings, and victories. This book is not meant to harm, notify or crucify any certain denomination, religious belief, or non- belief. Some of the names of churches and people in this book are fictional and are the compilation of many beloved relationships with no specific reference to an individual or denomination, while at other times direct reference is added to substantiate the material in this book.

Book Synopsis Practical Theology in Church and Society by : Joseph E. Bush
Download or read book Practical Theology in Church and Society written by Joseph E. Bush and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church exists in the world, and our ministry is inextricably social in nature. Practical theology takes this seriously and asks us to reflect on our practice of ministry in both church and society. This book attends to our practice as individuals in ministry, to our corporate practice as congregations in ministry, and to our practice as Christians within the wider social and natural world. Practical Theology in Church and Society brings into sharper focus two perspectives on practical theology. One is the view through the wide-angle lens of justice-oriented action, which hopes for liberation. This view encompasses a broad vista of social forces for justice and injustice when evaluating local movements and local ministries. The other perspective takes the narrower focus of the action-reflection model as it is used to zoom in on individual actions and particular practices of ministry such as pastoral care. The purpose of the book is to integrate these two perspectives on practical theology. It explicates a cyclical method for doing theology that has corollaries within the disciplines of practical theology, liberation theology, missiology, congregation studies, and ministerial leadership. The volume provides resources for developing more socially and ecologically engaged ministries, and it draws implications for ministerial education.
Book Synopsis Evaluating the Church Growth Movement by : Elmer L. Towns
Download or read book Evaluating the Church Growth Movement written by Elmer L. Towns and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining form and momentum over the second half of the 20th century, the Church Growth movement has become an enormous shaping force on the Western church today. You may love it, you may hate it, but you can't deny its impact. But what exactly is Church Growth? In what ways has the movement actually brought growth to the church, and how effective has it been in doing so? What are its strengths and weaknesses? This timely book addresses such questions. After providing a richly informative history and overview, it explores---in a first-ever roundtable of their leading voices---five main perspectives, both pro and con, on the classic Church Growth movement: * Effective Evangelism View (Elmer Towns) * Gospel in Our Culture View (Craig Van Gelder) * Centrist View (Charles Van Engen) * Reformist View (Gailyn Van Rheenan) * Renewal View (Howard Snyder) As in other Counterpoints books, each view is first presented by its proponent, then critiqued by his co-contributors. The book concludes with reflections by three seasoned pastors who have grappled with the practical implications of Church Growth. The interactive and fair-minded nature of the Counterpoints format allows the reader to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Exploring Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

Book Synopsis The Suburban Church by : Gretchen Buggeln
Download or read book The Suburban Church written by Gretchen Buggeln and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, America’s religious denominations spent billions on church architecture as they spread into the suburbs. In this richly illustrated history of midcentury modern churches in the Midwest, Gretchen Buggeln shows how architects and suburban congregations joined forces to work out a vision of how modernist churches might help reinvigorate Protestant worship and community. The result is a fascinating new perspective on postwar architecture, religion, and society. Drawing on the architectural record, church archives, and oral histories, The Suburban Church focuses on collaborations between architects Edward D. Dart, Edward A. Sövik, Charles E. Stade, and seventy-five congregations. By telling the stories behind their modernist churches, the book describes how the buildings both reflected and shaped developments in postwar religion—its ecumenism, optimism, and liturgical innovation, as well as its fears about staying relevant during a time of vast cultural, social, and demographic change. While many scholars have characterized these congregations as “country club” churches, The Suburban Church argues that most were earnest, well-intentioned religious communities caught between the desire to serve God and the demands of a suburban milieu in which serving middle-class families required most of their material and spiritual resources.

Book Synopsis Churches in Early Medieval Ireland by : Tomás Ó Carragáin
Download or read book Churches in Early Medieval Ireland written by Tomás Ó Carragáin and published by Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. This book was released on 2010 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted to churches in Ireland dating from the arrival of Christianity in the fifth century to the early stages of the Romanesque around 1100, including those built to house treasures of the golden age of Irish art, such as the Book of Kells and the Ardagh chalice. � Carrag�in's comprehensive survey of the surviving examples forms the basis for a far-reaching analysis of why these buildings looked as they did, and what they meant in the context of early Irish society. � Carrag�in also identifies a clear political and ideological context for the first Romanesque churches in Ireland and shows that, to a considerable extent, the Irish Romanesque represents the perpetuation of a long-established architectural tradition.
Book Synopsis Church in the Inventive Age by : Doug Pagitt
Download or read book Church in the Inventive Age written by Doug Pagitt and published by Sparkhouse Press. This book was released on with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books seek to predict the future of Christianity, but few help us grasp the opportunities of the current situation and equip us to navigate the present. Doug Pagitt, author, radio host, and pioneering leader, does just that, offering fresh, optimistic insights and practical suggestions. According to Pagitt, The last two centuries can be divided into four epochs: Idyllic, Industrial, Informational and –now-Inventive. The Inventive Age – our currently reality – presents distinct opportunities for how faith communities think, what they value, And The tools they use. Pagitt offers leaders in Christian communities (and beyond) essential frameworks for participation in the Inventive Age.

Book Synopsis Why Good Churches Fizzle by : Kurt Takamine
Download or read book Why Good Churches Fizzle written by Kurt Takamine and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Good Churches Fizzle explores the reasons why high-potential, highly motivated churches struggle in their God-given mission. The fizzling church is defined as one that began with great promise and excitement, only to stagnate or flatline in influence. What are the components of churches that fizzle, and what are the attributes of churches that succeed? Practical insights and exercises are presented in clear and simple language to the readership, and the author writes from the perspective of an organizational leadership professor, an executive leader from a major Christian university, and as an executive pastor.
