An Examination of Michael Frost’s Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture

Abstract

Though some Evangelicals are uncomfortable by the term “missional,” we have a thing or two to learn from the stream of church labeled by some as missional-incarnational. In particular, I think we have much to learn from Michael Frost’s Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture. And though I certainly have issues with some of his thoughts, there is a good deal to learn and seek to implement in our churches from this work. In particular, Evangelicals1 need to hear what he has to say about Christendom, his critique of some of the “trendy” ways of doing church, Incarnational -Mission, “Third Places,” “Communitas” ,and “Liminality.”
