In that debate, the interpretation of mission which is popular in some circles within the ecumenical movement differs acutely from that which has been held traditionally by many evangelicals. The way forward is for the two sides to meet together in a joint study of the Scripture, and to correct and enrich their own and others' understanding of mission by a deeper understanding of the biblical missionary theme and a fuller submission to it. Four adjectives describe this book: biblical, clear, fair, constructive. - Foreword.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 128 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"God's missionary people : rethinking the purpose of the local church \/ Charles van Engen ; foreword by Arthur F.

In a cultural climate where the very word church sounds a tone of dull irrelevance, the doctrine of the church has suffered studied neglect. The persistent demands to market and grow the church threaten to quench serious theological reflection on its abiding nature and mission. But few activities bear greater promise for renewing and reshaping the church than the work of theology. Edmund Clowney addresses these issues from decades of thinking and teaching. Biblical, historical, systematic and Reformed, The Church is a timely reflection on the life, order and purpose of the household of God. - Back cover.\r\n \tSubject Headings\tChurch. \r\nChurch -- Biblical teaching. \r\nChurch -- History of doctrines. \r\nMission of the church.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 336 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The disciple-making church : leading a body of believers on the journey of faith \/ Bill Hull.","author":"Hull, B.","isbn":"9780801066214","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Baker Books"},"datePublished":"2010","inLanguage":"English","description":"A biblical look at discipling -- The focus of the disciple-making church -- Founding the first church -- Practices and priorities of the first church -- Challenges for a growing church -- Breaking the barriers to disciple making -- The early mission church meets Jesus -- The maturing mission church follows Jesus -- The mission church reproduces -- Ephesus : the congregation and its priorities -- The pastoral priorities -- Development of a leadership community -- The well-principled church.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 267 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm","bookEdition":"Updated edition","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The sending church : the church must leave the building \/ Pat Hood.","author":"Hood, Pat, A.","isbn":"9781433681769 (pbk.","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Broadman & Holman"},"datePublished":"2013","inLanguage":"English","description":"Published in: Nashville, Tennessee\n\nPhysical description: 256 p. ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Understanding the church \/ David Jackman.","author":"Jackman, D.","isbn":"1857922573","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Mentor"},"datePublished":"1996","inLanguage":"English","description":"Includes indexes.\n\nPublished in: Fearn, Ross-shire\n\nPhysical description: 196 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
