Towards Another Future - On the Christian Faith and Its Shape Between Yesterday and Tomorrow (Paperback)


The continuing decline of the church in Europe is nearly undeniable. While this crisis has been widely acknowledged, there have been few attempts to systematically take on this challenge. Marcel Heyndrikx boldly takes up the challenge in Towards Another Future. Heyndrikx takes readers on a tour of this crisis among the churches of northern Europe, addressing such important questions as How did the church get to this point?, What is the nature of the decline?, and most important, Where does the church go from here? Along the way Heyndrikx points out the central elements of the decline -- Vatican II and its aftermath, the emergence of modern worldviews, and the tensions between old and new conceptions of the faith. Towards Another Future offers more than a map of the problem; it ends with reasons for hope of a brighter future for the shape of the Christian faith in the European church. As with all the Louvain monographs, this is an inspiring reflection on current theology and pastoral practice.
