Things Unseen: Churches of Christ In (and After) the Modern Age

by C. Leonard Allen

Today Churches of Christ are a modern church in a world in which modernity is receding. This reality, probably more than any other factor, accounts for the swift and disorienting changes besetting them at the beginning of the twentieth-first century. Can this anti-tradition tradition come to terms with its own modern tradition? Can Churches of Christ break out of modernity's hold and engage the present age with the power of the gospel? Can they respond to the new challenges and opportunities of this 'postmodern' era?

[Derek Parsons · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating read for those interested about the Churches of Christ in a post-modern world. Change some of the names and terminology and the concerns the book addresses apply to most Christian denominations.
