| Résumé : |
Church planting has been widely critiqued, but also called the best form of evangelism available. In Jesus, the Church and the Mission of God, John Valentine considers the Bible's whys and hows of planting churches.
Engaging deeply with Scripture and rooted in a constant call to discipleship, Valentine offers a comprehensive biblical theology to complement his decades of experience as a church planter out of Holy Trinity Brompton, and trainer and theologian at the Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication. Warmly written and accessible to those in the process of training and formation, it is a comprehensive resource for those engaged in one of the key missiological movements of our time. |
