Publisher's Description
When observing culture, the word "together" frequently occurs. The normal usage of the word "together" seems to assume that if people just get together, they will heal the division in their culture. Unfortunately, Christians have too often behaved poorly together, sometimes causing further division, while unfaithfully representing the gospel. What kind of togetherness, then, brings human flourishing? Flourishing in Community will guide the reader in a study of the Scriptures through the lens of theology to learn how the church can together learn and live according to God's heart, which leads to human flourishing. The American church especially needs to learn this togetherness in these divisive times.

“Joel Kime’s book is a call for togetherness, a special way of being in community that allows everyone to flourish as God intended, overcoming not only loneliness and hyper-individualism but also injustice and political animosity. In our socially fragmented era, no message is more important for American Christians to hear.”
“We do not need another screed against rampant individualism. Nor are we aching for another passionate plea for community. What we have been lacking, though, is both roadmap and rationale for togetherness. That’s what Dr. Joel Kime presents in this provocative volume. Conversational in tone yet robust in theological reflection, he explores not just why but also how humans flourish when they work, worship, and weep together.”
