...theologically and sociologically technical, the educated reader interested in social theory and religion will benefit from its well-written and documented pages detailing social change and religious convulsion.
— American Reference Books Annual
Faith Seeking Action is a blueprint for missional churches to enter into dialogue with contemporary social movements in order to find ways to mobilize the people of God for the transformation of the world.
— 2008; Missiology: An International Review
...Leffel describes the church as an active participant in God's mission, first from a familiar theological perspective, then from a sociological perspective rooted in the study of social movements. He introduces mission-ecclesiology and explains how a mission-informed theology of the church and a sociological understanding of social movements can be integrated into the church as a movement of God's people.
