The Community of the Word: Toward an Evangelical Ecclesiology

by Mark Husbands (Editor)

Do North American evangelicals have a clear and strong doctrine of the church? Can we generate one? In this volume, editors Mark Husbands and Daniel J. Treier bring together thirteen scholars and teachers to explore the history of evangelical ecclesiology and the continuing discussion regarding the nature of the church, the question of sacraments, the relation of church to society, and the church's moral character and missional witness. Contributors include William J. Abraham, Gary D. Badcock, Craig A. Carter, Ellen T. Charry, William A. Dyrness, Darrell L. Guder, D. G. Hart, Willie James Jennings, Dennis L. Okholm, James K. A. Smith, Allen Verhey, John Webster and Jonathan R. Wilson.

[Mark Alan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another mixed collection from the Wheaton Theology conference series. Some good things here, but not enough, ultimately, to dispel the running joke that Evangelical Ecclesiology is an oxymoron.
