Based on years of experience as a pastor and professor of theology, John Leith reflects on the dilemma of the church today as primarily “a crisis of faith.” He states that renewal is found within Scripture and the tradition of a believing, worshiping community–in hearing the word of God, particularly in preaching, in teaching, in the sacraments, and in Christian conversation.
John H. Leith was Professor Emeritus of Theology at Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education until his death in 2002. He is the author of a number of books, including Basic Christian Doctrine, An Introduction to the Reformed Tradtion, From Generation to Generation, and Crisis in the Church.
