Andrew Root

    Andrew Root untersucht kritisch Jugend, Glauben und Dienst und stützt sich dabei auf theologische und soziologische Erkenntnisse, um die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen zu verstehen, denen junge Menschen in der Kirche gegenüberstehen. Seine Arbeit untersucht häufig, wie junge Menschen Sinn und Verbindung in einer von Säkularisierung und Entfremdung geprägten Welt finden können. Root untersucht, wie praktische Theologie helfen könnte, tiefere religiöse Erfahrungen im Leben junger Menschen neu zu entfachen. Seine Schriften richten sich an Leser, die ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis der Schnittstelle zwischen Glauben und der jüngeren Generation suchen.

      The Congregation in a Secular Age
    • Named a 2014 Jesus Creed Book of the Year (Biography)Best New Contribution to Bonhoeffer Studies & Best Youth Ministry Book for 2014, Hearts & Minds BooksThe youth ministry focus of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life is often forgotten or overlooked, even though he did much work with young people and wrote a number of papers, sermons, and addresses about or for the youth of the church. However, youth ministry expert Andrew Root explains that this focus is central to Bonhoeffer's story and thought. Root presents Bonhoeffer as the forefather and model of the growing theological turn in youth ministry. By linking contemporary youth workers with this epic theologian, the author shows the depth of youth ministry work and underscores its importance in the church. He also shows how Bonhoeffer's life and thought impact present-day youth ministry practice.

      The Pastor in a Secular Age
    • Congregations often seek to combat decline by using innovation to produce new resources. Leading practical theologian Andrew Root shows that the church's crisis is not in the loss of resources but in the loss of life--and that life can return only when we remain open to God's encountering presence.

      Andrew Root explores the concept of relational ministry, advocating for the emergence of an "empathic minister" in churches. By connecting contemporary practices with incarnational theology, he seeks to deepen the understanding of the relationships within the body of Christ, challenging existing notions and encouraging a more profound engagement in ministry.

      2012 Christianity Today Book Award of Merit winner! What haunts your youth group? So often we avoid talking about doubts and fears because we feel inadequately equipped to address them in any meaningful way. The crisis of existence can't be answered with pat Sunday school formulas or a few Bible verses, let alone another relay race. The questions our youth have are often the same ones that perplexed the great theologians, driving them to search for God in the places God didn't appear to be--places of brokenness, suffering and confusion. What if we let these questions drive our search for God too? Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean invite you to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, addressing the deep questions of life with a wonderfully adolescent mix of idealism, cynicism and prophetic intolerance for hypocrisy. Follow them into reflection on your own practice of theology, and learn how to share that theology through rich, compassionate conversation and purposeful experience.
