John Drane Books

Introducing the Old Testament (REV 00) by Drane, John [Hardcover (2001)]

The 2nd revised edition is a comprehensive survey, with chapters on the world of the first Christians, the life and teaching of Jesus, composition of the Gospels, origins and growth of the Early Church, life, mission and letters of Paul, Revelation, formation of the New Testament and how it has been interpreted and used by later generations.

Examining the effect on the church and its mission of globalization, growing consumerism and post-modern culture, this work is the sequel to the bestselling McDonaldization of the Church.

John Drane believes that the Churches have become stereotyped structures offering uninventive pre-packaged worship to a dwindling minority. But there are exciting opportunities for growth, he argues - if only they can rediscover their creativity and flexibility. schovat popis
