Synopsis

What is the Church? A clear, thoughtful look at how the New Testament defines and builds the Christian community. This volume gathers two lectures that trace the Church of Christ from its New Testament roots to its life in later Christian practice. It explains key terms, compares the ideas of the kingdom and the Church, and shows how the early believers lived in fellowship, service, and unity.

The author grounds the study in careful etymology and scriptural context, guiding readers through the word ecclesia, its Greek origin, and its transformation into the Church as the holy community of Christ’s people. It also contrasts the broader idea of the kingdom of God with the more specific, personal reality of the Church, emphasizing how the body is composed of individuals united in worship and mission.

- Learn how the Church is defined as the gathered people called out by the gospel, and how this life takes shape in community.
- See how the early Church modeled sharing, care for each other, and disciplined fellowship in the wake of Pentecost.
- Understand the relationship between church order, ministry, and the broader life of faith in Christ.
- Discover how Methodist history and identity relate to the universal Christian Church and its mission.

Ideal for readers seeking a clear, historically grounded view of what the Church is, how it began, and what that means for believers today.
