Intended for upper division college students, seminarians, and pastors, The Community of Jesus delivers a biblical, historic, systematic, and missional theology of the church.
Today the word church provokes wide-ranging reactions and generates discussion on a variety of issues among Christians and non-Christians alike. In order to sort through this maze of responses and topics, a biblical and theological foundation must be laid that provides a clear vision of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ and its significance in Godâs eternal purpose.
With extensive pastoral, teaching, missions, and administrative experience, this team of contributors carefully sets forth the biblical teachings concerning the church and then builds on this core material, relating the theology of the church to salvation history, church history, Godâs glory, and Godâs mission: ⢠Paul R. House, âGod Walks with His People: Old Testament Foundationsâ⢠Andreas J. KĂśstenberger, âThe Church According to the Gospelsâ⢠Kendell H. Easley, âThe Church in Acts and Revelation: New Testament Bookendsâ⢠David S. Dockery, âThe Church in the Pauline Epistlesâ⢠Ray Van Neste, âThe Church in the General Epistlesâ⢠James A. Patterson, âThe Church in History: Ecclesiastical Ideals and Institutional Realitiesâ⢠Stephen J.Wellum, âBeyond Mere Ecclesiology: The Church as Godâs New Covenant Communityâ⢠Christopher W. Morgan, âThe Church and the Glory of Godâ⢠Bruce Riley Ashford, âThe Church in the Mission of Godâ
