Description: "The Emergence of the Church explores the story, weighs the issues and traces the contours of the early church's expansion and growth, life and practices, leadership and worship. Here is a panoramic introduction to the church as it was in the first century and a foundation for considering how it should be in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
