The nature of the church : biblical foundations -- The marks of the church : historical perspective -- The essence of the church : theological conclusions and practical applications -- Regenerate church membership : the Baptist mark of the church -- Where we went wrong and how we can get right : returning to faithfulness -- Baptist church polity : the case for Congregationalism -- Elders in Baptist life : leaders, not rulers -- The office of deacon : servants of the church -- The ministries of the church : five crucial concerns -- More than simple symbols : Baptism and the Lord's Supper -- In all directions : new approaches for a changing landscape -- Into all the world : the futrue of the global church.
Subject: Most North American churches take a pragmatic approach to church life. We are concerned with being relevant to the culture and ultimately growing at a steady rate. While these issues are certainly legitimate, they also create a danger that our churches will be shaped more by these extrabiblical goals than by the biblical mandate of God. Utilizing the Scriptures, theology, and Baptist history, this comprehensive work addresses all aspects of the church, both theological and practical. - Publisher.
