Wounded Witness: Reclaiming the Church's Unity in a Time of Crisis - Dr. Michel Paulding Therrien, STL, STD (Paperback)

In Wounded Witness: Reclaiming the Church's Unity in a Time of Crisis, Dr. Michel Therrien offers a compelling analysis of the current state of the Church and the obstacles that have hindered its evangelizing mission. Since Vatican II, tribalism has divided the Church into different camps, each with their own unique paradigmatic lens through which they view the Church's mission and discipleship. This lack of unity has impeded the Church's ability to more fully spread the Gospel.

However, in this insightful and thought-provoking book, Dr. Therrien provides a path forward by identifying the strengths and blind spots of each paradigm. By recognizing and embracing the beauty, goodness, and truth in each perspective, he casts a vision of an integrated spirituality suited for the work of mission — one that Christ himself embodied. This renewed spirituality will enable the Church to reclaim its unity of witness and fully live its missionary mandate. If you seek a fresh perspective on the Church's mission, this book is a must-read.
