What would a congregation with a missional identity look like? In this cross-denominational collection, respected scholars provide answers to this important question within the context of their own traditions and against the background of the broader church. Contributors include Dwight Zscheile (Episcopal), Kyle Small (Evangelical Covenant), Todd Hobart (Free Church Movement), and Wesley Granberg-Michaelson (Reformed Church).

The Missional Church and Denominations utilizes the missional church conversation as a lens for engaging an important dimension of church life in the United States---denominations and denominationalism.

Denominations have been studied from a wide variety of perspectives, including historical, sociological, and theological, but they have yet to be engaged in light of a missional church understanding. Here each essay helps to bring further clarity to the word “missional” and contributes to the ever-widening conversation.

Contributors include:

• Daniel R. Anderson
• Marion Wyvetta Bullock
• David G. Forney
• Wesley Granberg-Michaelson
• Todd Hobart
• Alan J. Roxburgh
• Kyle J. A. Small
• Craig Van Gelder
• Dwight Zscheile

Craig Van Gelder is professor of congregational mission at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota.
