Reviews

George R. Hunsberger, Coordinator of the Gospel and Our Culture Network "Here is the serious theological engagement with denominationalism that Lesslie Newbigin called for more than two decades ago! Finally! While the authors acknowledge this is only a start, it is a very serious and important start. They provide a unique (and necessary) blend of sound social analysis, theological grip, and contextually particular engagement. In the process, they demonstrate the vigor and power of a missional theological imagination for faithful and fruitful change."
