The existence of a seemingly endless variety of denominations has left many Christians unsure about the Bible's teaching on the nature and proper organization of the church. In the latest addition to the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series, Gregg R. Allison offers readers a comprehensive and systematic study of the church, deeply rooted in God's Word and Christian history. Whereas many books on the church tend to be either excessively academic or merely pragmatic, Allison presents a rich approach to ecclesiology consisting of sustained doctrinal reflection interwoven with wise, practical application. Exploring everything from the relationship of the church and Israel to the nature of the sacraments, this comprehensive resource will be an invaluable aid for years to come.
