Top Highlights

“Because of the shift from marks of the true church to characteristics of true spirituality, evangelicals, no matter their ecclesiastical affiliation, write little about the church as a mediator of grace and ordinance of divine mercy.” (Page 28)

“one could regard regeneration by the Holy Spirit as essential, as evangelicals did, but one could not do both” (Pages 26–27)

“to be assured that we are called and taught of GOD, for none but such are fit to minister in holy things.” (Page 26)

Endorsements

...[A] stimulating and timely collection of essays...the real challenge for evangelical ecclesiology [is] to be so deeply at ease with the fundamental Rule of the church, that it knows how to form and to grow the church today into shapes that embody its fundamental, and life-giving, characteristics. This book is an invaluable help to the task...
