The Church of Christ develops the affirmation that Christ is not
complete without his people. It grounds ecclesiology in Christology
and soteriology. Beginning with the Old Testament basis of the New
Testament teaching about the church, the book gives a consistent
correlation of Christ with the church's nature, membership,
assemblies, ministry, and life. This is not a historical study but
a doctrinal study. The aim is to present a biblical theology of the
church. A doctrinal approach, however, does not mean a doctrinal
scheme is imposed on the text; rather, the effort is to let the
doctrinal teaching arise out of the text itself. The systematic
treatment of the topics traditionally covered in studies of the
doctrine of the church are here brought together in relationship to
Christ, who is seen as providing the nature of the church and of
its membership and as providing not only the example for the church
but also a living continuation of himself in its worship, polity,
and ethics. The "Today" in the subtitle does not imply a tailoring
of biblical ecclesiology to the interests of the present, but is
meant to emphasize that biblical ecclesiology is viable today; it
is also an acknowledgment that the questions addressed are in part
shaped by contemporary as well as historical issues in
ecclesiology. In light of these considerations, Ferguson unveils a
comprehensive model of the church that is both biblically centered
and relevant to today's world.
