The world in which we serve is significantly different than the one in which our parents and grandparents lived. In The Church in Exile: Living in Hope After Christendom (IVP), Lee Beach draws on the Old Testament concept of exile (as well as the story of the early church) to explore the place of the church in a post-Christian culture. He offers the church a theology of hope for living in today’s culture, and points to the eschatological hope of restoration.
