{"product_id":"first-expressions","title":"First Expressions","description":"Seeking insight from the real-life development of the earliest expressions of emerging church from their birth, through times of adolescent angst and into the reality of adulthood, this book offers a unique insight into the long-term sustainability of fresh expressions.\n\nPresenting the lived practice of the church in mission through a longitudinal lens, and eschewing the rose-tinted approach, it considers the reality of emerging churches - their birth and death, their creativity and conflict, their dreams and despair. A picture of a church that is neither gathered and parish nor independent and networked emerges as the biographies of mission are brought into dialogue with a very ancient expression of mission, the birth of Philippians as a first expression of church in Europe..","brand":"SCM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251965743448,"sku":"9780334058472","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780334058472_98854ed0-e308-4094-8f21-93af56a2fabf.jpg?v=1745986544","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/first-expressions","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
