About This Item

In The Church of Christ: A Biblical Ecclesiology for Today, respected biblical scholar Everett Ferguson presents a genuine biblical theology of the church. By systematically examining the New Testament's teaching on the existence, meaning, and purpose of the church, providing responsible coverage of the traditional topics in ecclesiology, and carefully grounding ecclesiology in the person and work of Christ, Ferguson unveils a comprehensive model of the church that is both biblically centered and relevant to a world on the verge of the twenty-first century.

From Interpretation  
Pastors and Theologians who seek to ground their views of the church in biblical teaching will find help in Ferguson's thorough exposition....This study is commendable for many reasons, including its healthy balance between detail and generalization.
