Product Description

▼▲

In the Trinity, as Samuel Wells points out, we see the eternal persons of the Godhead being with each other. In the Gospels we see Jesus being with the people he encounters, mediating God's grace to them with his own incarnational presence. Those in ministry are likewise called to the task of being with- with God, with the church, and with the created world and those who dwell in it.

In Incarnational Ministry Wells elaborates on the concept of being with and discusses the following eight aspects of it: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment, and glory. This book will challenge readers to live a life of incarnational ministry with others as the church, the body of Christ.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Justin Welby
— Archbishop of Canterbury
"Sam Wells, one of the finest priest-theologians of our time, weaves together deep theology with the practical heart and skill of a pastor. This book is a must-read and a challenge for all who want to grow in their understanding and practice of being Christians together, following the God who chose to journey with us in Jesus."

Elaine Heath
— Duke Divinity School
"In this beautiful volume Sam Wells lays out a path for us to become more fully present to God, self, others, and creation. Using the phrase ’being with,’ Wells guides readers to take up a truly incarnational stance that is fundamental to the way of Christ."
