How should the church relate to the world?
Nearly everyone agrees that the church should be making this world better, but we keep clashing about how to do so.
We all want God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven, but deep disagreements about how to get there keep fracturing Christ’s body and tainting our testimony. Jesus was right: our witness to the world depends on our unity and our love for one another. In recent years, we've been failing at both. Political partisanship and constant infighting have wounded the vulnerable and driven countless people from the pews.
It’s time to revisit Christian witness with fresh eyes and a stubborn commitment to God’s revelation in Scripture. Offering a compelling vision for the twenty-first century, "The Fourfold Office of Christ" lucidly examines the most common ways of relating church and world. John C. Nugent employs the memorable categories of prophet, priest, king, and servant to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. He then charts a rigorously scriptural and surprisingly hopeful path forward.
If you love the church and care deeply about its mission to the world, this timely book is for you!
