Secularism, the Church, and the Way Forward

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The Christian church exists to glorify God and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ—or at least, that should be its mission. In Secularism, the Church, and the Way Forward, Cox and Barbera show how the church is at a serious fork in the road. One direction leads to a time when, looking back, people will see the church ‘as an adaptive rather than transforming institution . . . remembered for the wrong reasons and spoken of only in the past tense.’ The other direction leads to renewal and reformation, built on the foundations God established in the Old Testament that remain true today. This book provokes thought and produces conviction in the heart of the reader. Gleaned from Richard Cox’s lifelong walk with God, it draws the reader to examine his or her own heart and the Word of God in the unique way it is written and the power of its thought and depth of meaning.”
