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.
