In this third volume on ecclesiology, the doctrine of the church, published by the Biblical Research Institute, the reader is invited to reflect on three important areas of the nature and life of the church: worship, ministry, and authority. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, these three topics are a matter of conversation and discussion not only in Adventist academic circles but also in local congregations in many parts of the world. In this book, the reader is offered an analysis of these topics from the perspective of theologians from around the world who love the church, its message, and its unity. This volume aims at enhancing our understanding of the topics addressed and motivating others to contribute to the building up of the church for which Christ gave His life and to which He entrusted the gospel commission (Matt 28:18-20). An Adventist ecclesiology should be constantly placed at the service of the mission of the Church. "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come' " (Rev 22:17, NASB).
