As Christianity makes its impact upon widely different social contexts around the world, new questions arise about the interpretation of the church's biblical identity and mission. Contributors include Edmund P. Clowney, P.T. O'Brien, Russell P. Shedd, Ronald Y. K. Fung, D. A. Carson, Sunand Sumithra, and David Adeney. Among the topics dealt with are mission, ministry, worship, syncretism, persecution, the church as a heavenly and eschatological entity and the biblical theology of the church.
