Description
Something powerfully disturbing has been happening to Western society, particularly over the final decades of the 20th Century. Like hidden movements of the tectonic plates deep within the earth, the once familiar shape, substance and values of Western culture have shifted markedly. This has brought with it a liberating release of energy and opportunities, but also much pain and insecurity. Alvin Toffler describes this change as "a hinge of history", while Mikhail Gorbachev has observed: "humankind stands at a watershed." The repercussions of this for society in general, but especially for the Christian Church, are profound. Moving Between Times explores the nature, origins and impact of modernity and postmodernity, the two paradigms that constitute these unseen dynamic forces, and describes how this upheaval will affect both the spiritual landscape of the 21st century, and our place in it. Drawing on the wide range of material now available from observers of these contemporary moods and movements, this book suggests changes the Church may need to consider. - from Amzon
