 | The Wisdom of the Spirit: Gospel, Church and Culture Subjects: Humanities; Social Sciences; Religion; Sociology & Social Policy; Religion and Philosophy; Sociology of Religion; Christianity; In this groundbreaking book exploring Christianity and contemporary culture, internationally-renowned scholars (including David Martin, Alister McGrath, Billy Abraham, Billy Kay and Pete Ward), interface with the legacy of Andrew Walker's work and look forward in their own predictions of trends. Following Walker's special interests in house churches, charismatic renewal, culture and faith, this book picks up on these themes and also looks more broadly at topics such as Pentecostalism, Alpha and post-Evangelicalism. Pete Ward is one of the leading ecclesiologists - well-known nationally and internationally, and the founder of the ecclesiology and ethnography seminar group, which attracts hundreds of scholars all over the world. He is well known for his writings on evangelicalism and culture. Martyn Percy was from 2004-14 the Principal of Ripon College, Cuddesdon. He writes and teaches on practical and pastoral theology, and modern ecclesiology. In 2014, he was appointed Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. |
