Good synthesis

This book is another good example of what Richard McBrien does best: synthesize the best of contemporary theological thinking. Here he offers a concise overview of the history, theology and spirituality of ministry. It is actually a summary of an earlier video series he produced.

Ministry in a New Light

I am very pleased with this book. While Richard McBrien is writing this book from the perspective of a Catholic Priest, he writes from his heart and in a spirit of encourage for all people to understand the role each person can have in ministry today and in the future.
