The church is a visible demonstration of the reign of God, his experimental plot in the midst of history, pointing toward the restoration of all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriver offers studies of 12 biblical images for understanding the church. They steer us toward a church more in harmony with God's missionary purpose for his people, and toward a mission solidly based in the biblical vision of peoplehood. These images communicate with power and clarity, reflecting the sense of identity in early Christian communities. In our own time, such images can inspire the church to live up to its reason for being. The images the church uses to understand itself will largely determine what the church will become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriver explores images of pilgrimage, of God's new order, of peoplehood, and of transformation. By its calling, the church must be in mission. The church needs the vital sense of identity inspired by these biblical images to serve God's saving purpose for all creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Driver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Herald Press (VA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.38w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780836190588","brand":"Herald Press (VA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40219113455731,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_87ed6a11-3b86-4cf9-a5e8-5480d6859187.jpg?v=1656596568","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/images-of-the-church-9780836190588","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
