Part lived experience and part reframed theological framework, Positive Urban Theology is a bold and hopeful invitation to reimagine urban mission and God’s presence on the estate.

Revd Cris Rogers draws on personal story, theological reflection, and practical insight to offer a hopeful challenge to the church: to view urban communities not as spaces of deprivation, but as places rich with beauty, wisdom, resilience, and hidden treasure.

With honesty and warmth, Cris speaks to church leaders, missionaries, and working-class readers alike, calling for more authentic, rooted, and culturally aware approach to mission. This book offers a fresh vision for those seeking to love, understand, and serve urban communities well.
