Synopsis

This book examines the nature and significance of the Church, arguing that it is best understood as the human embodiment of God's Kingdom on Earth. The author, a theologian, traces the history of the Church from its Jewish origins through its development in the early Christian centuries. He explores the different ways in which the Church has been understood and practiced throughout history, and he argues that the Church's essential mission is to make God's kingdom a reality in the world. The book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking look at one of Christianity's central institutions, and it will be of interest to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the Church's history, mission, and meaning.
