Transformation series is good news for the Episcopal Church at a time
of fast and furious demographic and social change. Series contributors

most ready for transformation? What are the essential tools? What will
give us strength, direction, and purpose to the journey? Each volume
of the series will: Explain why a changed vision is essential Give
robust theological and biblical foundations Offer a guide to best
practices and positive trends in churches large and small. Describe
the necessary tools for change Imagine how transformation will look
How can we open ourselves to the transforming energy of the Bible, and
how can we become biblically literate? How do we read the Bible as a
“revealed text,” the Word of God, in a church and culture as
diverse as ours, without pain and division? These are some of the
questions Wade asks about Episcopalians and the Bible. The 21st
century church has commitments to diversity and evangelism, a
responsibility to interpret the meaning of life for people whose lives
are longer than ever before, and a need to speak to the emerging
culture of the future generations. We must allow ourselves to be
transformed by Scripture as never before.
