Urban Ministry in a New Millennium is both a practical and academic book dealing with Christian ministry in an urban context. It provides an intelligible analysis of the city in all its complexity and then moves in the direction of showing realistic ministry models for the city. The important historical perspective is provided in order to better examine the current context of globalization and regentrification on the city, the church, and urban ministry.
This contemporary, socially and spiritually sensitive book is applicable to seminarians, parachurch workers, and "first entry" people as well as those more deeply rooted academically and personally in the urban milieu.

"While urban ministry has a rich oral tradition, it is much in need of literary tools. David Claerbaut's book gives us one such excellent resource. And with this nation, and the world, involved in an irreversible urban process, Urban Ministry is a necessary book for church workers everywhere."
Bill Leslie, pastor
LaSalle Street Church, Chicago
"David Claerbaut's book is sorely needed. The city is where America is, and America's cities are in deep trouble. As the city goes, so goes the society. From a Christian standpoint, nothing is more important than that the church make a vital contribution to these urban centers. Claerbaut's book points the way and will make a strong contribution to what must become a growing commitment to an involvement in this frontier."
William E. Pannell
Associate Professor of Evangelism and Director of Black Ministries at Fuller Theological Seminary
"This book should be MUST reading for anyone who has any interest at all in doing ministry in urban America. It is the best book to come along in years on the subject!"
Stanley B. Long
Fellowship Urban Outreach
