Sinossi
This book re-examines Baptist theology and practice in the light of contemporary biblical, theological, ecumenical and missiological perspectives. It is not a study in denominationalism, but rather attempts to revision historical insights from the believers' church tradition, essentially within a trinitarian emphasis. It is a re-expression of that tradition, seeking to re-appropriate forgotten emphases, bringing them together in a revised ecclesiology.
`What a timely and significant book! When those historical commitments and convictions that issued in Baptist life and witness are in jeopardy of being forgotten or marginalized here is a series of essays that reasserts them with enthusiasm, clarity, and theological credibility. The outcome is a book that should be read not merely by Baptists but by representatives of every stream of Christian witness open to receive a prophetic witness to the nature of the church.' John E. Colwell is Tutor in Christian Doctrine and Ethics, Spurgeon's College, London, UK
`Three British Baptist theologians, including a woman, have together written a superb book on "being the church". Admittedly, ecclesiology is recognized the world over as a distinctly Baptist topic, but this book takes a fresh approach. The aim is nothing less than to revision Baptist identity. The point of departure to reflect on the people of God is to reflect on the One God in Trinity. From this tradition, the authors enter Into a critical and constructive conversation with biblical as well as Baptist traditions, past and present, and all this is done within the current ecumenical setting. Readers of all persuasions will, therefore, find a wealth of thought-provoking ideas. A highly recommended book that will hopefully be translated into various languages.' Erich Geldbach is Professor Emeritus of Ecumenical Studies, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany
`W.T. Whitley once observed that the most distinctive feature of the Baptists is their doctrine of the church. Yet surprisingly little has been written to display the substance of his observation. This book is a welcome addition to a growing body of literature that demonstrates Whitley's thesis and so challenges the popular perception that Baptist Identity is rooted in modem notions of individualism and independence. The authors provide a rich account of Baptist faith and practice as life together In communion with the triune God. They challenge us to rise above the familiar paths of denominationatism and ask us to imagine what it might mean to live out a theology of baptism, eucharist, and ministry within the one church, holy, catholic, and apostolic' Curtis W. Freeman Is Research Professor of Theology and Director of the Baptist House of Studies, Duke University Divinity School, North Carolina, USA
`Three British Baptist ministers, with wide pastoral and teaching experience, have brought together a powerful argument for re-examining many things that. Baptist churches have taken for granted. They bring together history, practice and theory, and produce a valuable and stimulating volume, which takes into account tradition and recent theological thinking.'This is a notable contribution to the renaissance of Baptist theology.' Derek B. Murray is a retired Baptist Pastor and retired' Lecturer, University of Edinburgh, and currently a Supervisor at the International Baptist Theological Seminary, Prague, Czech Republic
