Worship and Mission After Christendom

<p>Today, as Christendom weakens, worship and mission are poised to reunite after centuries of separation. But this requires the church to rethink both &ldquo;mission&rdquo; and &ldquo;worship.&rdquo; In post-Christendom mission, God is the main actor and God calls all Christians to participate. In post-Christendom worship, the church tells and celebrates the story of God, enabling members to live in hope and attract outsiders to its many tables of hospitality.</p> <p>In this passionate and thoughtful study, Alan Kreider and Eleanor Kreider draw upon missiology, liturgiology, biblical studies, church history, and the vast experience of today&rsquo;s global Christian church-to say nothing of their long tenure as teachers and writers in contemporary England and the United States. Academically responsible but also practical and accessible, <i>Worship and Mission After Christendom</i> is a much-needed guide for people who take seriously God&rsquo;s call to be the church in a world where institutional religion is no longer taken for granted.</p>
