{"product_id":"message-mission-and-unity-of-the-church","title":"Message  MIssion  and Unity of the Church","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcclesiology: Message  Mission  and Unity of the Church  is the result of the work of Adventists theologians who together have been exploring the biblical understanding of the nature and mission of the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have been told that “the church of Christ  enfeebled and defective as it may be  is the only object on earth on which He bestows His supreme regard” (TM 15). This being the case it is incumbent on church members to gain a sound biblical understanding of the nature of that on which Christ “bestows His supreme regard.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is this deep concern of Christ for His church that led the Biblical Research Institute of the General Conference  in conjunction with the Biblical Research Institute Committee  to initiate a series of studies on the nature and function of the church. The first volume of a projected three volume set was published in 2009 (\u003cem\u003eToward a Theology of the Remnant: An Adventist Ecclesiological Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e) and now we bring to our readers this second volume. It deals with extremely relevant topics such as the unity of the church and its message and mission. We do not only look at biblical material but also at post-apostolic developments in order to place Adventists ecclesiology within the flow of Christian history as God’s end-time remnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny pastor  teacher  leader  and church member who  like Christ  has a high regard for the church will benefit from reading this volume. It will provide for the readers a better comprehension of the Adventist movement and will hopefully inspire us to contribute to the unity of the church  to gain a better understanding of its message  and to be involved in its mission. We pray this study will be a blessing for the church as it reflects on itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41329194270771,"sku":"9780925675217","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0103\/8902\/8915\/files\/messagemissionunity_4d042445-d6d6-450f-b3bd-825123f584f3.jpg?v=1774919460","url":"https:\/\/clovisabc.com\/products\/message-mission-and-unity-of-the-church","provider":"ClovisABC.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
