Christendom, the system in which Christianity shaped Western laws and society as the majority religion, has been shaky since the Enlightenment. Now it's in its death throes, felled by secularization, consumerism, and the sexual revolution. For better or worse, Christians must learn to be a minority. There's no better time than now to recall Karl Barth's dictum: the church must always be reformed. What is the re-formed church we need now? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this issue, \u003c\/b\u003e George Weigel and Eberhard Arnold call the church to turn back to its sources and to seek renewal in the example of the first Christians, for whom Christianity was not just a Sunday religion or a private affair. It meant belonging to the fellowship of disciples, whose way of life was countercultural to that of the surrounding pagan society, as Rowan Williams points out. Today, Christians of all traditions are realizing that we are again called, in the words of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, to form a creative minority. Pastors Jin Kim and Claudio Oliver explore how to practice communal Christianity in different contexts, and Andreas Knapp and C cile Massie document the vibrancy of the persecuted church in Syria and Turkey. Editor Peter Mommsen explores the legacy and triumph of the Radical Reformation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlso in this issue: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reviews of Ben Sasse's \u003ci\u003eThe Vanishing American Adult, \u003c\/i\u003e Alan Kreider's \u003ci\u003eThe Patient Ferment of the Early Church, \u003c\/i\u003e Tobias Jones's \u003ci\u003eA Place of Refuge, \u003c\/i\u003e and Andrzej Franaszek's \u003ci\u003eMilosz\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePoetry by Mary M.
