DESCRIPTION

"...offers a sweeping overview of church history and locates us in a moment of great opportunity and challenge." - Brian McLaren 

As an internationally renowned expert on religion, Phyllis Tickle has an incisive perspective on the trends and transformations of our time.

Here she invites us into a conversation as she shares her reflections stemming from not only personal faith but also decades of observation and analysis. The result is a work that meets the challenge of chronicling a pivotal time in church history so we might better understand where we have been and what the future holds.

Tickle clearly lays out the gradual steps leading up to this transformation, including the influences and effects of Darwin, Freud, Einstein, the automobile and technological  advances. She then sets her sights on where we're going, leaving us with a vision of an exciting future for the church.
