Community Engagement after Christendom

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Marshalling his deep, practical theological and public-service resources with care, economy, faithfulness, and imagination, Doug Hynd asks our churches to rethink Christian community engagement from a perspective which destabilizes top-down power relations and opens us up to transformation, both personal and political.”

The Fall of the Church

Theology

“This is an outstanding book. It shows why and how the Christendom church has all too often betrayed its message by failing to align itself with the life-giving power of Jesus, and instead finding itself trapped by imperial political assumptions, without and within. . . . Written with scholarly wisdom, it is also a manifesto of spiritual and political hope.”
