Changing Shape
SCM Press (Verlag)
978-0-334-05831-1 (ISBN)
Ruth Perrin’s landmark study of emerging adults who as teenagers described themselves as Christians, reveals what has happened to this apparently “lost generation” – those who have lost faith altogether, those with a faith but who have withdrawn from the church and those with an ongoing active faith which is nonetheless now broader and deeper than previously.
Considering the factors which help shape millennial belief, Changing Shape reflects on the challenges and opportunities that ‘missing generation’ bring to the Church, and considers what lessons the Church can learn from the Millennial mindset.
Ruth Perrin is Leech Research Fellow at Durham University. In addition to her research interests she is also a tutor on the Cranmer Free Church Track, associate staff at King’s Church Durham and a trainer in Christian leadership. She has 20 years ministry experience primarily (though not exclusively) with students and young adults. She appears regularly at New Wine national and regional events
