Description
The ministry of reconciliation is the new whole in holistic ministry. It must be if the Christian mission is to remain relevant in our increasingly fractured world. This book offers a fresh treatment of holistic ministry that takes the role of reconciliation seriously, rethinking the meaning of the gospel, the nature of the church, and the practice of mission in light of globalization, post-Christendom, and postcolonialism. It also includes theological and practical resources for effectively engaging in evangelism, compassion and justice, and reconciliation ministries. Includes a foreword by Ruth Padilla DeBorst and an afterword by Ronald J. Sider.

I am reviewing a copy of Whole and Reconciled through Baker Academic and Netgalley:
The first part of this book seeks to understand global changes, and show how understanding, these changes, changes the way we live and understand our faith. It goes on to say interreligious competence as part of the ministry of reconciliation in a fractured world. The church also needs to have a level of competence in the Internet.
The book goes on to remind us that Christendom and Biblical Christianity, comparing the two is like comparing kool aide to water. Addison Hodges Hart describes Christendom as the historical merging of an institutional Church with the government of a state, the alignment of religion with politics and the alliance of clergy with ruling powers to share in those powers.
Christendom was not and never has been Christianity.
The book goes on to say that the Church needs to develop intercultue competence.
The author (s) go on to point out that that Christendom was never a good idea. They go on to point out that the western church needs to confess and repent of its colonial path.
False and Half Gospels are also addressed in here such as the gospel of hate, the gospel of prosperity.
I give Whole and Reconcoiled five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
