Blur: A New Paradigm for Understanding Youth Culture

The dominance of quantitative approaches to youth ministry has resulted in collections of snapshots of youth that tend to 'see' today's youth as fixed, grounded 'portraits, ' or profiles, rather than what they are---a 'blur' of what can be called 'sacredly mobile adolescence.' This book will encourage you to reflect on youth culture through a phenomenological and qualitative approach, rather than a purely quantitative, critical lens. Jeff Keuss will help you navigate today's youth culture in a way that sees youth more wholistically, and less clinically. Your ministry to youth will be better informed, and your measures of success more in tune with today's youth culture
