The Church

What is the point of an annotated bibliography on ecclesiology? It is difficult these days to keep up with the changes in church activity throughout the world. Whole movements have arisen and gained momentum before many of us have noticed. It is even more difficult, in fact impossible, to keep up with all the literature about the church. If seasoned scholars have difficulty keeping up, how can the interested non-scholar become informed? This book is a review of some of the scholarly and popular literature about the church that has been written to date and will enable the student of ecclesiology to find the writings that are most relevant to him or her and to be aware of the rest. Stephen P. Ansley resides in Riverside, California where he has served as a non-staff teacher at a community church for many years. He has a special interest in ecclesiology, leanings toward non-structural ecumenism, and a passion for the mission of the church.
