The theological turn in youth ministry

The questions young people have are often the same ones that perplexed the great theologians, driving them to search God in the places God didn't appear to be---places of brokenness, suffering and confusion. What if we let these questions drive our search for God too?

Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean invite us to envision youth ministries full of practical theologians, addressing the deep questions of life with a wonderfully adolescent mix of idealism, cynicism and prophetiv intolerance for hypocrisy.
