Description
This book offers congregations a perspective on developing an urban ministry through the lens of Ray Bakke, an evangelical minister and professor who began developing an urban ministry in Chicago in the 1960s. Published in 1997, the book explores how Bakke developed his theology of inclusive urban ministry and his worldview. Bakke uses the books of the Christian Bible as a framework to explore his experiences and thinking about urban theology and what this theology can mean to urban congregations.
