Focusing on careful definitions, global contexts, and the variety that is the church in worship, This book helps us to face the expanding environments in which churches function while not ignoring the importance of gathering. It offers much in terms of direction and help us think about and describe what is wise in application.
- Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary,
“This is such an important book for both theologians and sociologists. Heidi and John have brought together a wealth of experience and thought from across the world to offer their own thoughts on what is means to be church in the digital age. This book helps us grasp the Church’s global response to the COVID pandemic and how digital played its own part in an ongoing revolution in church practice. It is a must read for students, pastors, researchers and professors alike.”
