God's Unwelcome Recovery
Why the New Establishment Wants to Proclaim the Death of Faith
Its time to challenge the myth of a dying church
There is a disconnect between the official accounts being peddled in political and media circles telling us that Christianity is on the decline in the West versus the reality of church growth on the ground. Why are such different pictures being painted? Sean Oliver-Dee suggests that the disconnect is deliberate. While setting the record straight on church growth, he exposes the social and political agenda that underpins the narrative of the death of faith.
