There are two things that I found on this book.
1. Ed Stetzer's interview with Jim Belcher
2. Kevin DeYoung's review on this book.
What is church? This is a very good question as we do church ministry. Specifically it is very relevant to us since we will focus on the house church at our staff conference in Oct, 09. We have to get church right.
Our Evangelical brothers are struggling and working to articulate what church is. This is a very encouraging sign that we are struggling to know what God's intention for the church is.
For me the best place to look to find is the Bible and go to the primary source. Of course we need to contextualize the gospel but we cannot revise the gospel.
We need much God's wisdom to do church in our own context and be faithful to our mission. (Matt 28, Rom 1:5)
