Participation and Church Planting

Participation and Church Planting offers a wealth of material that will prove helpful to practitioners, scholars, and students of contemporary church planting movements. The contributors frame the project of church planting within God’s own, self-revealed character and thus offer a theologically grounded vision of missional church as participation in God’s own redemptive work. The book includes an impressive range of Biblical, theological, and practical perspectives, and offers insights about scriptures and practices that deserve fuller attention in conversations about contemporary church planting. The depth and breadth of theological reflection make this a valuable resource for church planters and scholars in a wide range of contexts, well beyond the British Anglican settings that are most directly in view.
