Michael Frost Bücher

Michael Frost und Alan Hirsch plädieren in ihrem Buch für eine Rückkehr zu Jesus, dem radikalen und barmherzigen Messias der Evangelien, anstatt die Kirche neu zu erfinden.

Popular notions of Christian spirituality often emphasize disengagement from the world or the removal of worldly influences. Many seek spirituality as a way to escape life, aiming for transcendence or personal wholeness. Conversely, much of contemporary Christian thought focuses on avoiding worldly corruption through piety and rule-following. However, Jesus presents a transformative model for living. As the Incarnate One, he exemplifies how to engage with the world for its sake. To embody his likeness, we must understand missional spirituality in our daily contexts. What does a life rooted in the Incarnation entail? Barry Jones, a missional teacher and pastor, articulates a vision for authentic Christian spirituality centered on becoming more like Jesus. We exist in a specific time and place, with unique bodies, within a world that God aims to redeem. This presence should inspire us to emulate Jesus, who was a boundary breaker, shalom-maker, people-keeper, and wounded-healer.

Ever wonder why people fall asleep in church? It happens. We’ve all seen it. We shuffle into rows of seats that grow more comfortable with every new fundraising campaign. We slouch down and settle in for an hour or so, as singers and storytellers and preachers and teachers take their turns filling our ears. And almost without fail, at least one of us nods off while listening to the greatest story ever told. The church was not meant to be like this. The church was meant to be on its feet, in the world, making all things new. The church was meant to be sent. Kim Hammond and Darren Cronshaw want to help us―all of us―rediscover our sentness. Dive into Sentness, and explore the six postures of a church that’s keeping pace with God’s work in the world. Rediscover the gospel that first quickened your pulse and got you up on your feet, ready to go wherever Jesus called you. Get Sentness, and prepare to get sent.

L'autore presenta una visione del mondo per la chiesa emergente: persone che non si sentono a casa né nella chiesa tradizionale né nel mondo secolare. In quanto esuli di entrambi, devono creare una propria visione del mondo che integri le loro credenze cristiane con il mondo contemporaneo. Exiles invita a una fede cristiana dinamica, che afferma la vita e robusta, che può essere vissuta in categorie non religiose e risultare attraente per chi non è ancora cristiano.
