Reformed Vitality cover

Copublished with the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship, Reformed Vitality addresses the issue of what constitutes religious vitality and where it can be found within Reformed circles throughout the world. The authors examine evidence of religious vitality among Reformed believers, within Reformed institutions and communities to discover how they have maintained and/or created that vitality in the face of cultural and social fragmentation. This investigation revealed complex and multifaceted patterns that are explored and assessed to create a proper evaluation of the status of religious vitality by interpreting the signs around it. The information gathered shows that many Reformed communities have entered a critical stage, where issues of identity and relevance are central problems that confront their corporate life. Difficult questions arise as the very purpose and essence of Reformed communities are explored along with the place of religious vitality in them.
