First Expressions
SCM Press (Verlag)
978-0-334-05847-2 (ISBN)
Presenting the lived practice of the church in mission through a longitudinal lens, and eschewing the rose-tinted approach, it considers the reality of emerging churches - their birth and death, their creativity and conflict, their dreams and despair. A picture of a church that is neither gathered and parish nor independent and networked emerges as the biographies of mission are brought into dialogue with a very ancient expression of mission, the birth of Philippians as a first expression of church in Europe..
Steve Taylor is Principal of the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership, New Zealand.
