The Cruciform
Church: Becoming a Cross-Shaped People in a Secular World Our Price: $14.95 |
| This book by Leonard Allen is just great. Allen
is a professor of theology in the "Church of Christ" heritage, but here
he has written a book that is immensely valuable for believers of all
backgrounds. Allen's thesis is basically that the church is to be
"cross-shaped," hence the title "Cruciform." Upon this basis, he
proceeds to argue the nature and mission of God's people, and how that
is to be shaped around the character, nature, and mission of Jesus
Christ. He will challenge your hermeneutical foundations, and offer an
exciting vision of restructuring our churches to be more in line with
the hope of Christ. Be sure to read his related book, "The Worldly
Church," in which he seeks to correct the secular corruption of the
modern Church. |
