Every seminarian and church leader must wrestle with that question. No matter what designation a church uses to describe itself, it must also think critically about why it exists and what it should be doing. In this book, five leading voices representing a range of Christian traditions engage in an enlightening conversation as they present and compare their perspectives on the mission of the church. Each contributor offers his or her view and responds to the other four views. Contributors include Stephen B. Bevans, Darrell L. Guder, Ruth Padilla DeBorst, Edward Rommen, and Ed Stetzer. The book''s format is ideal for classroom use and will also benefit pastors and church leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction, \u003ci\u003eCraig Ott\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerspective Chapters\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1.
