The Communion of Saints: Living in Fellowship with the People of God

Philip Graham Ryken is president of Wheaton College. He is Bible teacher for the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, speaking nationally on the radio program Every Last Word. Dr. Ryken was educated at Wheaton College, Westminster Theological Seminary, and the University of Oxford, where he received his doctorate in historical theology. He and his wife, Lisa, have five children.

Spiritual isolationism has reached a crisis level among American Christians. This study winsomely addresses the urgent need to reclaim biblical fellowship within the body of Christ.
Have you noticed how many of the New Testament's directives for sanctification are in the plural? Think about it! We need a biblical recovery of the corporate dimensions of Christianity. I'm delighted to commend this study—it will benefit Bible teachers, new Christians, and new members classes.
The Communion of Saints causes us to reflect on the corporate meaning and experience of our belief in Christ. Its thirteen chapters (appropriate for adult Sunday school classes) and leader’s guide provide stimulating applications that may revolutionize your church toward a more biblical fulfillment of the gospel.
Phil Ryken and friends have given us a helpful meditation on chapter 26 of the Westminster Confession of Faith. Clear-headed and heart-warming, informed and informative.
