What Is Missing in the 21st-Century Church?

Abstract

The Church and Christianity have maintained throughout history in a dichotomous relation to various eras such as pre-modernism, postmodernism, modernism, and philosophical movements. Science influenced each period to the extent of impacting the interpretation and comprehension of the Bible. Similarly, Christianity has not been immune to influences from the western globe. The purpose of this research is to explore the current challenges affecting the management of the Church in the 21st century, the impacts of these challenges on Christianity, and the potential solutions that could be integrated to achieve the mission and goal of Christianity. The study examines several issues influencing the Church and how they have contributed to that which is missing in the contemporary Church, Christianity and Church in the 21st century, and the future of the Church and Christianity.
