Publisher's Description
Setting a church in order is a primary task for the pastor. Jensen weaves a tapestry of dialogue with Titus and other ancient and contemporary thinkers to underscore this important but sometimes forgotten role. The reader will find in Jensen's work part exegesis, part theological history, part psychosocial integration, part contemporary anecdotes, all with the appeal for the church to immerse itself in relationship with God and with others that illustrates the heavenly family God is orchestrating and preparing for the coming of Christ. Jensen's vision is a renewal of what life together can look like when we gather in our homes and when we gather in our churches.

“Patrick Jensen is a gift to ‘the household of faith’ (Gal 6:10). The truth of this statement certainly includes his calling and gifting as a writer. Setting in Order is an excellent example. As a theologian, I appreciate Pastor Jensen’s ecclesial passion as he vigorously articulates a vibrant ministerial and, as is quite apparent, a truly pastoral vision which is relational, especially in a covenantal sense, and, most of all, familial. Jensen’s writing is both insightful and articulate. His distinctive ability to relate and integrate biblical, historical, and theological truth with scientific research and real-life experience is remarkable. For anyone desiring to understand better Paul’s first-century writing to Titus, this work will be helpful. For any desiring to apply it today to their own church family, it will quickly become an essential aid.”
