What is The Synaptic Gospel : Teaching the Brain to Worship about?

In This Book, Christopher D. Rodkey Asks How The Brain Worships And Responds By Engaging Ideas From Neurological Science, Philosophy, Ritual Theory, And Religious Education. From This Exploration, Two New Paradigms For Pastoral Ministry Emerge. First, Rodkey Proposes A 'pan-generational' Principle, Advocating An Empathy-based Approach For Fostering Faith Communities, A Principle That Is Radically Inclusive To All Generations. Second, Rodkey Argues That Worship And Religious Education Should Converge To Include A Shared Goal Of Teaching Individuals To 'live Liturgically.' In The Synaptic Gospel, Rodkey Argues That Living And Thinking Liturgically Are Learned Behaviors That May Be Promoted Through Pan-generational Worship. The Book Concludes With A Special Emphasis On Practical Suggestions For Youth Ministry. The Synaptic Gospel Will Prove To Be A Useful Theoretical Tool For Pastors, Religious Educators, Youth Ministers, Church Music Professionals, And Seminary Students.--publisher's Website.
