About this audiobook
The fullness and vigour of Christianity has been in decline in the life of the West, the application of gospel truths often limited to personal evangelism and our personal prayer life. But this is a radically narrow view of the Christian mission. In the biblical narrative we see a vision for the mission of God’s people that is nothing less than the faithful worship of God in every area of life and culture - in our laws, educational institutions, politics, and arts, to name just a few.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book is well written and has a very scholarly tone, but I just don't think the arguments all line up. Amid his stone throwing at Mark Dever, I have to wonder if he's read any of Dever's books, or if all of his criticism comes from reviewing an interview. I agree that we shouldn't get caught up in "Churchianity," but the Church is the bride of Christ, the instrument which Christ put in place to be His hands and feet in the world, for evangelism, for altruism, for social change, for everything. How the Church needs to do that is a whole other topic, but is it possible to emphasize the Church too much? I don't think so.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Extremely helpful! This is a concise explanation of what the Church is called to do and how we have strayed from that mission.
