Summary
Many pastors struggle to translate their theological beliefs into fruitful ministry in the places they are called to reach. It’s not enough to simply know what to believe (theology), or on the other hand, how to do ministry (methodology) - they need something in between. They need help thinking about ministry in a culture that no longer believes Christianity is a force for good, let alone the source of ultimate revealed truth in the person of Christ.
This unabridged audiobook, a collection of 12 essays by Timothy Keller, outlines a theological vision for ministry that is organized around three core commitments:
- Gospel-centered: The gospel of grace in Jesus Christ changes everything, from our hearts to our community to the world. It completely reshapes the content, tone, and strategy of all that we do;
- City-centered: With a positive approach toward our culture, we learn to affirm that cities are wonderful, strategic, and underserved places for gospel ministry; and
- Movement-centered: Instead of building our own tribe, we seek the prosperity and peace of our community, as we are led by the Holy Spirit. A theological vision creates a bridge between doctrine and expression, a balance between cultural engagement and countercultural distinctiveness.
Written by a practitioner for practitioners, Center Church will provoke serious reflection, creative adaptation, and decisive action. It can be used by groups or individually and includes questions for discussion and reflection.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

excellent magisterial review
Keller covers a wide range of elements of church theology and growth. He gives plenty of food for thought and a listen/read is well worth while

Important insights for the church
I've been taught good doctrine, and have my experiences and opinions to guide my views on church, but I've never been taught to reflect on where I get these views from, and how to tread the important combinations of Biblical gospel clarity, with accessible but non-compromising Bible teaching, along with Biblical cultural involvement.
Formative in my understanding and hopefully practice!
