The Future of the Church

The book explores the challenges facing the church in North America and Europe, highlighting issues such as scandals, loss of trust, and a secular, individualistic society. It argues that while younger generations may view Christianity as outdated, the church still offers essential values and community that the modern world lacks. Emphasizing the importance of law, gospel, and sacraments, the text suggests that the church plays a crucial role in shaping self-understanding and preserving meaningful connections to the past, present, and future. Directions for revitalizing the church are also provided.
