Incarnational Ministry by Samuel Wells

The bestselling writer and popular broadcaster Sam Wells reflects theologically and practically on the essence of discipleship and Christian ministry today. Those in ministry, like Jesus, are called to the task of ‘being with’: with God, with the church, with the created world and those who live in it. Incarnational Ministry explores the concept of ‘being with’ in eight dimensions: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment and glory. It challenges readers to deeper discipleship and more vital ministry as they explore what it means to be with the troubled, the hurt, the afflicted and the dying – and all who are embraced by the Church’s incarnational ministry.
‘At the interface of critical academic reflection and faithful church theology, we have no better voice than that of Sam WellsHe invites us to rethink, from the ground up, our abiding temptation to condescending help and service to others. He compellingly renders a more excellent way toward the transformative with.’ -- Walter Brueggemann
