Concurring with many who find the church pointless if not downright harmful, this book explains why the church should nonetheless exist. Weaving together resources from Scripture, science, history, and theology, Moss describes the drastic and systemic changes that must take place if the church is to have any hope of fulfilling its purpose: revealing God's peace, compassion, love, and justice in the world. Even if we are willing to undertake it, the transition from the church we are comfortable with to the church we need to be will no doubt be difficult, painful, and anxiety ridden. Nonetheless, this book claims that the church is still the best option available for the re-creation of the world. Well-researched, easily readable, and presented with light humor, this book is sound enough for the classroom and practical enough for the congregation. Each chapter includes reflective discussion questions to aid the reader in rethinking how their corner of the church can live into its core purpose, offering divine hope to a world that is desperately searching for it.
