More about the book
Focusing on the need for churches to adapt, Ulrich Schmiedel engages with Ernst Troeltsch's ideas to propose that churches must become "elasticized" to better connect with diverse communities. He critiques the current insular nature of religious institutions and emphasizes trust as a key element in redefining Christianity from a static belief to a dynamic practice. By drawing on various scholarly fields, Schmiedel presents innovative approaches to understanding Christian practices, portraying the church as a constantly evolving entity shaped by interactions with both sociological and theological differences.
