Product Description

How can the church become reinvigorated by its missionary identity? Exploring how some congregations have drifted from Newbigin's seminal ecclesiology, Michael Goheen and Timothy Sheridan dissect three contemporary movements—missional, emergent, and center—spotlighting strengths and weaknesses. Offering a gentle corrective, the authors share whole-Bible principles to help churches re-tether themselves to their divine purpose and successfully engage with culture.

Publisher's Description

This book offers a historical assessment and balanced critique of contemporary church movements, especially in light of missional ecclesiology. An expert on Lesslie Newbigin and an expert on contemporary church models show how Newbigin's ideas have been developed and contextualized in three popular contemporary church movements: missional, emergent, and center church. In addition, the authors explain that some of Newbigin's insights have been neglected and need to be retrieved for the present day. This book calls for the recovery of the missionary nature of the church and commends church practices applicable to any congregation.
