A Node in the Web of the Emerging Church

Best Book on Ecclesiology?

Posted Jul 9, 12:35 PM | 4 comments | by Steve Knight | Link

Andy Rowell, Duke Divinity School doctoral student, says John Howard Yoder’s 80-page Body Politics is the best book he’s read on ecclesiology this year: “I would highly recommend this book for anyone thinking about church leadership or planting a church.”

Rowell also recommends 10 other books he’s read that “prepared [him] for thinking as Yoder does about ecclesiology.”

What other books/blogs/resources would you suggest reading for more on this subject?

Other books I would recomment on ecclesiology are:

“After Our Likeness: The Church as the Image of the Trinity” by Miroslav Volf

“An Introduction to Ecclesiology” by Karkkainen

I’m away from my library right now, but a couple I remember enjoying were TOm Wright’s, Bringing the Church to the World; and Howard Snyder’s The Problem of Wineskins.
