A Few New Books I am Reading
n + 1: recession – always entertaining and insightful look into current cultural trends.
When Church Was a Family – one of the best books I have read on the nature of the church. Well-written, academic but with very practical application.
Transforming Worldviews (Hiebert) – can’ read enough of this outstanding missiologist! Insightful, robust, gospel and culture savvy.
A Faith Worth Sharing (Miller) – collected reflections on Jack Miller’s experience of sharing the gospel. Personal, warm, and in no way intimidating.
Anathem (Stephenson) – a fiction author I’ve been wanting to read for some time. Two friends, Jason Ford and AJ Hamilton have highly recommended Stephenson, also the author of the breakthru novel Snow Crash.
The Holy Spirit (Owen) – often known for his work on limited atonement and mortification of sin, Owen is more widely known as the theologian of the Spirit. This comes out in his other works, and he has two main volumes on the Spirit in his collected Works.
Missional Bibliography
Missional churches get their missional moxie from their theological moorings. The strength of these theological moorings will set a trajectory for just how far our missional ships will sail. Check out the following for more missional theology:
- I recently came across a great missional biblography from Tyndale Seminary that covers Missional Church, Missional Leadership, and Missional Hermeneutics. It also lists articles.
- An old article I wrote for Acts 29: How Missional is Your Church?
- LEAD 09 Conference
- Renewing Evangelical Mission Conference
