Since the publishing of The McDonalization of the Church, church attendance has continued to decline in the West, increasing numbers of people are turning to ‘spirituality’ and the impact of globalization and consumerism has been joined by a post-9/11 culture of fear and search for truth. In the light of these developments, John Drane asks what is means to do Christian theology in a post-Christendom context. Where are today’s mission opportunities, the places where God is at work? In our fragmented society, how should Christian community be shaped? Using insights from other disciplines, especially the social sciences, John Drane presents the case for a more ‘practical theology’, a reinvigorated style of ministry and the restatement of classic Christian beliefs for the 21st century; not just as ‘things to believe’ but ‘values to live by.’
