Publisher's Description

▼▲

- A major contribution to the literature around innovation in new forms of church, using a fascinating and fruitful blend of ecclesiology, theology and biblical studies. - The emphasis on stability along with flexibility in understanding church will broaden the book's appeal well beyond those with an interest in pioneer church. - The author's position as a teacher both of new testament and of new forms of church gives her a unique authority on the overlap between the two topics.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

‘This is a thoughtful contribution to what the church should look like in the twenty-first century. Well worth reading!’

-- Michael Moynagh, missiologist and author of 'Church for Every Context' and 'Church in Life.'

"In this book, Dr Helen D. Morris helpfully brings ‘body of Christ’ language to bear upon the contemporary ecclesiological conversation. It is a work of careful theological scholarship, offering wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion in the context of a new and creative metaphor for what Helen calls re-contextual church. Flexible Church will certainly be beneficial to academics and practitioners alike.

-- Chloe Lynch, Lecturer in Practical Theology, London School of Theology, UK and author of "Ecclesial Leadership as Friendship" (2019)
