Description
Recovering the Genius of Early Christian Discipleship'As we witness a decline in church
attendance and in church membership, and as allegiance to any religious group is on the wane,
Sittser issues a persuasive call in Resilient Faith for a return to the systematic approach to
discipleship developed by the early church to counter this downward trajectory. No need to search
for novel methods to halt the deterioration of the church's influence in the world; applying the heart
of the gospel message will lead to flourishing again!'--Kay Warren, bestselling author and
cofounder of Saddleback Church'Today's Christians must learn the way forward by looking back at
the riches of the early church's way of life. Sittser provides us an accessible history that not only
teaches us about the resilience of the early church but provides a vision for how we might be more
faithful in our current moment through the recovery of its doctrines and mode of cultural
engagement. This is not a dry history of dates, names, and abstract ideas but a call to a rich
project of retrieval--a chance to sit at the feet of our oldest brothers and sisters and learn from
them how we might live more fully in the way of Jesus.'--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest,
writer-in-residence at Church of the Ascension (Pittsburgh), and author of Liturgy of the
Ordinary'So if believers today live in a post-Christian era similar to the early churches' pagan era,
what can these early believers teach us? Apparently a lot. So argues Sittser, tantalizing us with
ancient ideas and practices that can invigorate Christian witness today.'--Mark Galli
, editor in chief, Christianity Today'If you're interested in a knowledgeable, insightful, and thorough
introduction to the life and thought of the ancient church--and the ancient church leaders known as
the church fathers (and church mothers)--this is just the book for you.'--Chris Hall, president of
Renovaré'An exciting, beautifully written, and much-needed book. In a time in which our social
fabric seems to be tearing, Sittser draws on the early centuries of the church to offer a powerful
vision of Christian witness. Sittser's 'Third Way' offers significant promise for a robust renewal of
Christian life and thought.'--L. Gregory Jones, Duke Divinity School Read more Gerald L.
