An in-depth study on the theological paradigm behind Natural Church Development. At many universities and seminaries around the globe, “Paradigm Shift in the Church” has become the basic textbook for church development. In this book, the author links the discussion between church development and systematic theology in an unprecedented way. He outlines amazing new perspectives that arise at the moment we don't limit ourselves to mere pragmatism, but follow a sound theological compass. The book introduces a paradigm that differs from a foggy ecumenicism on the one hand, and from denominational parochialism, on the other.

Possibly the shortest book that has ever been written on the Trinity, and at the same time the one with the most dramatic impact on the way we lead our lives. In only 32 pages the author demonstrates the practical consequences that arise from not only "believing” in the Trinity, but actually “experiencing” divine reality in the area of each of God‘s three major revelations. A comprehensive introduction to the Trinitarian Compass, that has become the heart of all books on Natural Church Development.

2. Present the most complex theme in theology in an easy-to-grasp way
3. Help antagonistic streams in your church to fruitfully co-operate
How could it be that the New Testament teaching on God’s energy has remained all but invisible to vast parts of Christianity? What new spiritual and theological possibilities emerge when people embrace this dimension and allow it to shape their daily lives? In this first volume of his Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz unpacks the New Testament concept of energy, explains its explosive implications for today, and explores factors that made Western Christianity first ignore and then suppress it.

2. Understand the rejection mechanisms in the West
3. Explore the implications of God’s energy for various topics of theology, spirituality, and church development
In the third volume of his highly-acclaimed Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz presents cutting-edge research that reveals a dramatic shift in Christian involvement in churches around the world. Many of the approaches that were celebrated as recipes for success until just a few years ago no longer work. What needs to change in churches to address the landslide shifts? What needs to happen in the heads, hands and hearts of Christians to get closer to this goal? And how can this be done in practical terms? Drawing on the biblical teaching about God's energy, Schwarz presents compelling concepts that enable individuals and groups to contribute to processes of transformation. The book can help the church recalibrate its spiritual and theological compass to get prepared for facing today's challenges.

1. Explore the basic theological, philosophical, and psychological background of the landslide changes
2. Unlock intrinsic motivation in self and others
3. Experience the life-changing impact of the biblical energy paradigm
The teaching on God’s energy, as portrayed in the New Testament, has far-reaching consequences for both our view of God and our relationship to God. Can we encounter God as a person, while at the same time being permeated by God’s transpersonal (more than a person) dimension? In the second volume of his Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz explores how the biblical energy paradigm considerably enhances both Christian theology and spirituality, and enables surprising new ways of experiencing the transcendence of God in the midst of our daily lives.
Your three main benefits:
1. Expand your image of God
2. View the supernatural from a new perspective
3. Explore new ways of relating faith and science to one another
