Faithful, Creative, Hopeful

"""In clear, direct, and vigorous prose, Jesse Zink situates the crisis of the church in the context of the global crises of climate, economics, and migration, and gives a clear-eyed response.  Facing squarely our objective uncertainty regarding the world’s future, his fifteen theses outline concrete acts of Christian witness shaped by the certainty of God’s enduring faithfulness."" * Ian McFarland, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Theology, Candler School of Theology, Emory University * ""Jesse Zink describes the crises of our time, inside and outside the church, with the particularity of local stories that are filled with authenticity and immediacy. Despite these challenges, named with sometimes blunt clarity, he maintains an encouraging focus on what is hopeful and faithful, calling us to practices that will ground the church for the future."" * Linda Nicholls, former primate of the Anglican Church of Canada * ""These theses present a way of finding God’s insistent vision for a church in need of thinking—no, of living!—bigger and with more hope than we have dared to in recent generations. An astute and resolutely clear-eyed student of both church and society, Zink presents the world-saving eschatological promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ while avoiding gimmick or game. Indeed, we have little time for such distractions in these last days."" * A. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of New Hampshire *"
