Towards the Prophetic Church by John M Hull
Thirty years ago John Hull wrote What Prevents Christian Adults from Learning?. This new book asks What Prevents Christian Adults from Acting? How has it come about that the Church appears to be so preoccupied with itself? What happened to the quest for the social justice of the Kingdom of God?
'This is an important book for people involved with fresh expressions of churchIt encourages us to imagine these new communities as inclusive communities of love, that join God in uprooting sources of injustice, and that tie together personal faith and social action. I don't agree with it all, but I am most grateful I have read it.' -- Michael Moynagh
'John Hull allows us to see prophecy not as an ancient paradigm to be overlaid onto modern dilemmas but as a continuously evolving and dangerous medium for social change. The joy, mischief, and vast intellectual honesty of his personality make this book not just one 'about' the prophetic church but a prophetic Word spoken to bring such a church about. ' -- Keith Hebden, theologian and activist
