"Like most things 'evangelical,' evangelical ecclesiology is up for grabs today. Even evangelical theologians, in their attempts to discern what the church is called to be, find themselves looking in a plethora of directions for constructive models, from the free church tradition to Eastern Orthodoxy and the Celtic church. The essays in Evangelical Ecclesiology display not only the tensions within contemporary evangelical thought about the variety of ways in which evangelical thinkers seek to assist the people of God in the task of being the church in the contemporary world but also the vitality of the current discussion."
-Stanley J. Grenz, Pioneer McDonald Professor of Theology, Carey Theological College
John G. Stackhouse, Jr. (Ph.D., University of Chicago) is the Sangwoo Youtong Chee Professor of Theology and Culture at Regent College and the author of Evangelical Landscapes.
