SCM Press - Participation and Church Planting Book

Explore the deep connection between theology and mission in Participation and Church Planting: Perspectives from Scripture, Doctrine and Practice. Published by SCM Press, this volume brings together experts from biblical studies, systematic and historical theology, and practical theology. This book examines how the concept of participation provides a lens for understanding church planting and the relationship between the church and the mission of God. By looking at the New Testament, where writers mention participation "in Christ" over 130 times, this work helps readers understand how this central concept shapes the life of the Church. It is an essential resource for those looking to connect theological study with the practical realities of growing and establishing new faith communities.
