Claiming the Center

Mainline Protestant churches have been seriously impacted by the conflict in belief systems embodied in the opposing worldviews of conservatives and liberals. In this book, Jack Rogers contends that for mainline churches to remain relevant in today's world, they must make an active effort to claim the center--an authentic and balanced Christian worldview.

Jack Rogers is Vice President for Southern California and Professor of Theology at San Francisco Theological Seminary.
