Description
How should the church live in the 21st century? When the landmarks are constantly shifting, how can we avoid getting lost? In a world with so many voices competing for our attention, how can we learn to listen to the voice of God in Scripture? In a culture obsessed with an image of success, what does it mean to conform to the image of Christ? The Second Incarnation, Rubel Shelly and Randall J. Harris subject the identity, nature, and purpose of the church to a rigorously biblical examination. Shelly and Harris challenge us to be resourceful in communicating with the world and diligent as we handle the gospel entrusted to us.
