Cruchley-Jones, Peter
Singing the Lord's Song in a Strange Land?

A Missiological Interpretation of the Ely Pastorate Churches, Cardiff.

The book explores the experiences and insights of three congregations living on a large deprived housing estate in Ely, Cardiff. From their experiences of decline and loss, discovery and hope the author has developed a thesis rooted in the Old Testament paradigm of exile and offers a challenging critique of the Church's self-centred nature and formulates the beginnings of a missiology in and for a "post-Church" society. A missiology that questions if the Church truly has a fixed and pre-eminent role in the mission of God. 251 Seiten mit einigen Tab. sowie vier Tafeln, broschiert (Studies in the Intercultural History of Christianity; vol. 123/Peter Lang Verlag 2001) Mängelexemplar
