Youth Ministry and Theological Shorthand

Children & Youth

“Youth Ministry and Theological Shorthand is a fascinating book that achieves the feat of both celebrating and critiquing the theological expression of evangelical youth ministry practices. By framing these practices as icons of epistemology, David Bailey draws our gaze through them toward an even richer theological understanding of ministry inspired by Kevin Vanhoozer’s Trinitarian theology. This book is methodologically rigorous, rooted in practice, and theologically engaging, making it valuable for theological educators and students as well as youth ministers and church leaders.”
