Description
This book explores the cultural and theological reasons behind the importance of transmitting faith to children and young people in order to promote church growth. Research-based recommendations are made for the intentional formation of Christian identity in this age group.
The central argument is that churches need to create environments where children and young people can form and sustain their Christian identity, through the development of "intentional Christian Communities".
By understanding the cultural and theological factors at play, churches can develop effective strategies for fostering faith in this key age group.
