Description

This book explores models for youth ministry from the life and ministry of Christ. This area of study has become fossilised because youth workers rely too heavily on the notion of ‘incarnational’ or ‘relational’ youth ministry. This leads them to believe that they must spend huge amounts of time with young people in order to ‘earn the right’ to share the gospel with them. The author argues that this foundation for youth ministry is inadequate and impractical and that it is not how Jesus himself operated. He proposes a broader Christology as a foundation for youth ministry today. Each chapter includes study questions for individuals or groups.
