Contextuality in reformed Europe

the long version

"The scope of this volume is how churches experience themselves and their mission in their context. The discussions in this volume provide ample material to substantiate the claim that the church should not be an ecclesia incurvata in se ipsa, (a church curved into itself) but welcoming and directed not only to personal needs but to social needs as well--but not bound to what people often feel the needs are and delving deeper to the real roots of sin and selfishness, be it personal, social or national."--Back cover.
