This strategic, practical-ministry book, McLaren suggest thirteen strategies for doing ministry in postmodern culture.

Thesis: Postmodern culture requires Christians to do ministry differently.

1. maximize discontinuity
2. redefine your missions
3. practice systems thinking
4. trade up your traditions for tradition
5. resurrect theology as art and science
6. design a new apologetic
7. learn a new rhetoric
8. abandon structures as they are outgrown
9. save the leaders
10. subsume missions in mission
11. look ahead, further ahead
12. enter the postmodern world
13. add to this list

The appendix includes exercises to help the reader implement the strategies. There are reference and explanatory end notes, but no index.
