New Book on the Church

Rollin G. Grams, The Family of Faith: Studies on the Church and Its Communal Values (184 pages)

This collection of twenty-six essays on the Church is intended for the average reader.  A few of the articles delve into primary sources and become a bit more technical, yet these are also not overly academic and are written with the purpose of applying a Biblical theology and ethic of the Church to our lives as God's people today.  The book is currently offered for free on this blog's bookshop.
