New Upcoming book from Dr. Stephen Harper

Dr. Stephen Harper, who will be teaching a course this fall called Cultural Engagement in Urban Contexts, will soon be releasing a new book called They're Just Not That Into You: A Church's Struggle for Relevancy in the 21st Century. Built off the research and data collected from Dr. Harper's doctoral dissertation, this book will wrestle through issues of the church's struggle to connect with an increasingly secularized and postmodern society. What makes this book refreshing is that it is written from a true Canadian perspective and is housed in this context. We'll keep you posted on the release, updates, and where you can purchase the book. Stephen will be teaching a course this summer in Cochrane (Calgary) through the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary called The Art of Postmodern Evangelism.

Book Description:

Close to 90% of Canadians say they still believe in God, yet less than 15% go to church on a regular basis. Why is there such a disconnect between church and culture? They're Just Not That Into You: The Church's Search for Relevancy in the 21st Century explores this question.

Author Stephen Harper delves into the curious shift that has occurred in western society, studying the cultural nuances affecting the church's ability to significantly influence the world around it. So is there a solution? They're Just Not That Into You investigates this reality and offers some practical solutions.
