Description
Many books seek to predict the future of Christianity, but few help us
grasp the opportunities of the current situation and equip us to
navigate the present. Doug Pagitt, author, radio host, and pioneering
leader, does just that, offering fresh, optimistic insights and
practical suggestions. According to Pagitt, the last two centuries can
be divided into four epochs: Idyllic, Industrial, Informational and
now-Inventive. The Inventive Age - our currently reality - presents
distinct opportunities for how faith communities think, what they value,
and the tools they use. Pagitt offers leaders in Christian communities
(and beyond) essential frameworks for participation in the Inventive
Age.
