In today’s world people are into “Jesus” but not "religion" or "church." Many are disillusioned by what they see in church or on television: scandalous reports; the hollow promises of prosperity-gospel preachers; and an obsession with attendance, buildings, and collections. Yet the Christian church—imperfect, proud, and often corrupted—is Christ’s treasured personal belonging. It is a society created by the very death and resurrection of God’s Son. Join Rex Edwards as he unveils a comprehensive model of the church that is both biblically centered and relevant. Find out what is permanent and essential—and what is historically conditioned. Search for answers to questions that matter: What is the church? Does it fulfill any purpose in a broken world? What is the role of the pastor in a priesthood of believers? Who are the ministers of the church? What does authentic worship look like? Does discipline have a place in a healthy church? And do we really need the church at all? Is it possible to be a Christian without joining any church? May this book inspire the church—the body of Christ on earth since the resurrection—to fully live out God’s ideal for His people.
