Dr Joe Boot is a British-Canadian apologist and cultural theologian. In the UK, he is Head of Public Theology at Christian Concern and directs its Wilberforce Institute training programme. His day-job is Senior Pastor of Westminster Chapel, the church he founded in Toronto. These five titles considered here (see below*) are all accessibly written and often entertaining to read.
They set out his concept of mission, summarised in the Chapel’s core values as: ‘Transformation and cultural engagement at all levels – beginning with the individual, followed by the family, followed by the community, the academy and the socio-cultural order, seeking to apply the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life and thought.’
