Changing Worlds

This is a well-received collection of ten essays in practical theology on the theme of change in three areas: moral issues, churchgoing patterns and theological education. Earlier versions of chapters 2, 4, 9, 10 were published before January 2001, although each was revised for this collection. All the other six chapters were written after January 2001. Together they seek to address the implications of a fast changing world for Christian faith and practice, including issues about churchgoing decline in many so-called Western countries and, conversely, claims about rapid church growth in a number of non-Western countries, bewilderment about changes in theological education, and the role of theology in a world changed by 9/11.
