Synopsis

Today Churches of Christ are a modern church in a world in which modernity is receding. This reality, probably more than any other factor, accounts for the swift and disorienting changes besetting them at the beginning of the twentieth-first century.

Can this anti-tradition tradition come to terms with its own modern tradition?

Can Churches of Christ break out of modernity's hold and engage the present age with the power of the gospel? Can they respond to the new challenges and opportunities of this 'postmodern' era?
