"In clear, direct, and vigorous prose, Jesse Zink situates the crisis of the church in the context of the global crises of climate, economics, and migration, and gives a clear-eyed response.  Facing squarely our objective uncertainty regarding the world’s future, his fifteen theses outline concrete acts of Christian witness shaped by the certainty of God’s enduring faithfulness."
