This book is a disciplined introduction to ecclesiology. With
respect to the community which "the Lord purchased with his own
blood (Acts 20:28), parts one and two focus on a
critical-exegetical presentation of the New Testament's
descriptions and themes, locating their treatment within two
millennia of reflection, and appreciating the impact of those
contexts on our understanding. From over ninety New Testament
images, chapters four to ten identify and argue for three
foundational concepts: ekklesia (assembly); soma Christou (the body
of Christ); and koinonia hagion (the communion of the saints).
Continuing the conversation with Scripture and its history of
interpretation, Robert Doyle then applies the determinative
biblical themes to present practice, centering it on the churches
of the Evangelical and Reformed traditions. Part four illuminates
ecclesiology from other foundational Christian doctrines: the
triune God of holy love; Christology, our ascended human high
priest and king; and the doctrine of revelation, the church as "the
pillar and bulwark of the truth." The final part focuses on three
possible points of transformation in ecclesial life and witness,
both internally and outward to the world.
