Synopsis

In a fragmented, fragile and fractured world, what kind of churches do we need that can speak prophetically to the nations? We are living through a suffering context and a polarized world that requires a new ecclesiology, that is, way of doing church. Polyphonic God introduces the idea that the Trinity speaks more than one language and inhabits multiple worldviews, yet is one in essence. It offers new interdisciplinary perspectives on ecclesiology and missiology. This book envisions a re-imagined church that is intercultural, intergenerational and interdenominational.

In Polyphonic God, theologians and practitioners together contend that intercultural churches are significant in multicultural British society, and serve to create a counter-cultural kingdom narrative demonstrating how we can find unity in the midst of diversity and how this can enrich the lives of everybody involved.
