This book explores why some church forms impede the gospel in today's postmodern world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>By habit, the church has come to mean a place where we congregate. But that understanding causes us to miss one of our primary reasons for being in the world. In <em>Church Without Walls, </em> author Jim Petersen offers an exciting definition of the church that pushes beyond the too-small boundaries we've inherited from the past. A vivid and inspiring call to every Christian, this book explores why some church forms impede the gospel in today's postmodern world. The first-century church had to sort out Jesus from Judaism in order to become a people for all nations. Today we have to sort out Jesus from our religious traditions in order to make him accessible to our culture. In a time of sagging church influence, this book demonstrates that the Scriptures provide a blueprint for helping men and women make a difference in the world. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In a day when church theorists suggest that the way to revers the sagging influence of the church is to implement the insights of the modern marketplace, this book has the audacity to propose that the Bible provides the blueprint for such a thing. For the beleaguered saint who wonders what he or she should be doing for God in this world, Church Without Walls not only delineates the task, but elucidates a sound strategy." John D. Hannah, Professor of History of Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary</p><p>"This book will make church leaders all over the world uncomfortable with their present approaches to ministry. . . . Jim challenges our current ecclesiological structures. He argues for freedom in form while holding tenaciously to New Testament functions. . . . Church leaders of all persuasions in all kinds of structures will do well to listen to what Jim writes in this book." Dr. Gene Getz, Pastor, Felllowship Bible Church North, Plano, Texas. </p><p>"As Petersen shows in<em> Church Without Walls, </em> the Scriptures give us the freedom 'be all things to all people' together so that we can be fully engaged for Christ in our needy world. We just need to broaden our understanding--biblically--of 'church' and to regain our focus on why we are in the world. Many young men and women will use this book as a biblical foundation to help them thrive together in a complicated age and to live a meaningful adventure of faith." Glenn McMahan, author of <em>More Than Me.</em><br /> </p><br>
