In this powerful and challenging book, David W.
Smith identifies a crisis at the heart of the church.
It is the crisis of triumphalism - the tendency to avoid honest engagement with brokenness and suffering, privileging victory while rejecting the practice of lament.
This imbalance, Smith argues, threatens to undermine the credibility of faith for a watching world, alienating those experiencing hardship and oppression; those wrestling with doubt, uncertainty, and loss.
