Ronald Fangen Church And Culture in Norway

In 1934 Frank Buchman's Oxford Group movement, a precursor to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), was invited to Norway. It made a deep impression upon Ronald Fangen, a young novelist and dramatist. Thereafter, as a Christian humanist, he attempted to persuade the Church to appreciate and learn from the Arts since such efforts would support the proclamation of its message. His writings beckon readers to sense with him the constant tension to communicate in the best way the Christian message in each generation; with this tension Fangen wrestled. The challenge continues today.Govig, Stewart is the author of 'Ronald Fangen Church And Culture in Norway', published 2005 under ISBN 9780595354412 and ISBN 0595354416.
