Why Millennials Don't Go to Church - Paperback

by Helen C. Trainor (Author)

This book is about why an entire generation has rejected the church as a source for spiritual guidance. Rather than lay the blame on how church is being "done," the book argues that the early interpreters of Jesus' message distorted Christianity from the very beginning by claiming Jewish prophetic expectations as the only lens through which to interpret the Jesus phenomenon. Instead, Trainor suggests that Jesus was unique and unprecedented and that the core of his message can most authentically be interpreted through the lens of the Christian mystical tradition.
