The Church and Its Vocation – Lesslie Newbigin`s Missionary Ecclesiology
Baker Academic, Div of Baker Publishing Group (Verlag)
978-1-5409-6047-4 (ISBN)
Lesslie Newbigin, one of the twentieth century's most important church leaders, offered insights on the church in a pluralistic world that are arguably more relevant now than when first written. This volume presents his ecclesiology to a new generation. Michael Goheen clearly articulates Newbigin's missionary understanding of the church and places it in the context of Newbigin's core theological convictions. Suitable for students as well as church leaders, this book offers readers a better understanding of the mission of the church in the world today. Foreword by N. T. Wright.
Michael W. Goheen (PhD, University of Utrecht) is director of theological education at the Missional Training Center, scholar-in-residence for the Surge Network of Churches-Phoenix, and professor of missional theology at Covenant Theological Seminary. He has written several books, including The Drama of Scripture, and splits his time between Surrey, British Columbia, and Tempe, Arizona.
