Product Description

Do North American evangelicals have a clear and strong doctrine of the church? Can we generate one? In this volume, The Community of the Word top evangelical theologians Mark Husbands and Daniel J. Treier bring together thirteen scholars and teachers to explore the history of evangelical ecclesiology and attempt to steer the ongoing discussion about the nature of the church towards a positive and constructive ecclesiological statement. Questions of sacraments, the relation of church to society, and the church's moral character and missional witness are all discussed in detail.

Editorial Reviews

This book should be a mandatory reading in undergraduate, seminary, and graduate courses on evangelical theory. -- Religious Studies Review, January 2007

. . . The primary contribution of this volume may lie precisely in its framing the various important ecclesiological points of discussion that need to be addressed in evangelical theology. -- Evangelical Review of Theology, July 2007

A concrete contextual contribution with a strongly pastoral concern. This is a useful introduction to the various ways in which the church is making a comeback into evangelical theology. The footnotes open up avenues for recommended reading. -- Andy Draycott, Themelios 32/2

It does raise many interesting issues on the nature and mission of the church today. For anyone involved in Christian ministry it will therefore prove helpful in identifying and confronting issues which threaten to distort or distract the church. -- Iain Cameron, UFM Scottish Secretary, Glasgow, Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology 25:1, Spring 2007
