All of what Joash was writing began with a rigorous interrogation of his own faith, background, and cultural milieu. He is not giving a secondhand account or recounting of someone else’s journey. He is explaining to us in great detail the journey that he is on and the steps he’s taken to arrive at this point. I am convinced that perspective is beyond necessary for the church in the west precisely because of this. So many faithful and frustrated followers of Jesus and the jaded, compromised pastors who lead them need a fresh expression of the faith they confess. This is the book for both of them because the problem clearly is not the individual, but the ideologies that deceive so many and destroy the image of God in countless communities here and abroad.
