Church planting is not just about planting more churches. Many books on the topic fail to ask about what kinds of churches are needed. They focus on "How?" or "How many?" rather than on "Why?" or "What Kind?" Church Planting probes more deeply into contemporary culture and invites readers to think creatively and radically about a wide range of mission and church issues. The book sets church planting within a broader theological framework and also examines mission implications of postmodern and post-Christian societies. Exploring new forms of church life, Murray passionately arg that church planters should establish new kinds of churches rather than merely cloning" existing models. Nothing less will be adequate for mission in diverse and changing cultures.
