This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This volume sounds a ringing summons to today's churches to give primacy once again to urban ministry. Informed by a high degree of theological and social- scientific insight and by a wealth of experience in the urban milieu, Villafañe lays out a vision of a church that, unlike the trend today, refuses to retreat from the challenges of city life. Includes chapters by Douglas Hall, Efrain Agosto, and Bruce W. Jackson. Foreword by Harvey Cox.
