When observing culture, the word "together" frequently occurs. The normal usage of the word "together" seems to assume that if people just get together, they will heal the division in their culture. Unfortunately, Christians have too often behaved poorly together, sometimes causing further division, while unfaithfully representing the gospel. What kind of togetherness, then, brings human flourishing? Flourishing in Community will guide the reader in a study of the Scriptures through the lens of theology to learn how the church can together learn and live according to God's heart, which leads to human flourishing. The American church especially needs to learn this togetherness in these divisive times.
