The Pastor in a Secular Age - (Ministry in a Secular Age) by Andrew Root (Paperback)

The Pastor in a Secular Age by Andrew Root is an insightful exploration of how pastors have navigated the challenges of our secular age.

Through a rich array of historical examples, Root sheds light on how pastors have both perpetuated and responded to the cultural shifts that have reshaped the role of religion in society.

By examining the experiences of influential figures such as Augustine, Jonathan Edwards, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nadia Bolz-Weber, Root reveals how these leaders have navigated the tension between their faith and the secular world around them. With a focus on Old Testament texts and the theology of Robert Jenson, Root offers a new vision for pastoral ministry today, one that prioritizes attending to people's experiences of divine action.

This book is an essential read for any pastor or religious leader seeking to understand the complexities of our secular age and how to effectively serve their community in this context.
