This is the challenge issued by James Thwaites in Renegotiating the Church Contract, as he takes an in-depth look at the struggles and pressures the church is facing in this postmodern era. Taking us within the walls of the collapsing church, we follow the author on the journey of transition that the people of God need to take. Thwaites aligns Christ's own death and resurrection with the death and the life of the 21st century.

Taking us within the walls of the collapsing church, we follow the author on the journey of transition that the people of God need to take. Thwaites aligns Christas own death and resurrection with the death and the life of the 21st century church. Packed with timely reminders and exhortations, this will be a welcome book for church leaders and those in authority who seek a new vision for the church in the third millennium.
