Notes from a Wayward Son: A Miscellany

by Andrew G. Walker

This 'miscellany' puts readers around the table with a teacher who has provided the church with wisdom and passion, allowing us to hear an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the relationship between the gospel and culture. Andrew Walker's 'ecclesial intelligence' and broad interdisciplinary approach to theology and sociology will undoubtedly capture the imagination of many who are curious about the church's mission in the modern West. Notes from a Wayward Son represents a broad sampling of Walker's writings from a distinguished forty-five-year career - from explorations of Pentecostalism and Charismatic Renewal to Eastern Orthodoxy, C.S. Lewis, and Deep Church; from the impact of modernity on the ecclesia to mission and ecumenism in the West today. In a world and a church often driven by the latest fashions, Walker's is a voice to which we will want to listen!

Christianity endures

As a member of the Orthodox Christian Church and former evangelical Christian , I appreciate very much Andrew's insights derived through personal experience in Pentecostalism and his significant study of theology within the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. I too believe the way forward for Christians is through dialogue from within our historic theological tradition applied to contemporary issues and concerns. To what end? " And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent ."

An eclectic and interesting collection from a theologian both deep and wide.
