In this book Addison Hodges Hart asks some pointed questions: What sort of church must we become in a post-Christendom world, one in which we can no longer count on society to support Christian ideals? What can we salvage from our Christendom past that is of real value, and what can we leave behind as not practical - and perhaps antithetical - for our discipleship? How do we become "strangers and pilgrims" once more, after seventeen centuries of being "at home" in Christendom? Hart's book takes up these various topics, suggesting both how Christ's disciples can say "yes" to much that was preserved during the age of Christendom, and why they should say "no" to some of the cherished accretions of that passing epoch.
Addison Hodges Hart is a retired pastor and college chaplain presently living in Norway. He is also the author of The Ox-Herder and the Good Shepherd, Taking Jesus at His Word, and The Yoke of Jesus.
Richard Rohr --Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico "This excellent book is both clear and courageous! It describes the fundamental changes that must take place for re-forming the Christianity that most of our denominations have accepted as the only available model of church. Addison Hodges Hart honors history, Scripture, and theology -- and puts them together very wisely." Brian D. McLaren --author of We Make the Road by Walking "Thoughtful Christians often lament that our leaders are characterized by ignorance on fire on the one hand and intelligence on ice on the other. In Addison Hodges Hart, however, we have intelligence on fire. In Strangers and Pilgrims Once More he makes bold and sensible proposals for a positive and robust Christian discipleship. I have great respect for this author and this book."
