Rev. Stan Wood
“What professors of theology are saying “One of the few works I have encountered that offers a sustained reflection on the church’s essential and constitutive missionary nature. A genuine breakthrough in ecclesiology.”
Dr. Steve Bevans
“Stands out for its willingness to draw on serious exegetical and historical study to understand the playing field of church life today. Transcends trite stereotypes and establishes a biblical missiological direction. It will be a standard reference work in this area for years to come.”
Rev. Wayne Brouwer
