My new book is out. The following series of blogs are designed to give you insights into the content that is explored in each chapter of the book Vintage Church. The book was just released by our friends at Crossway and my coauthor, Dr. Gerry Breshears, and I are very pleased with the final product. All told, the book weighs in at 335 pages with more than 600 footnotes. Unlike Vintage Jesus the book has little humor but is not guided by the painfully somber tone that permeates Death by Love. Insofar as the content is concerned, those familiar with my writing and preaching will discover that Vintage Church brings virtually all of my work on the church together in one packed book. And, since I have never preached this content as a sermon series as I did before publishing Vintage Jesus and Death by Love there is a lot of fresh content in this book that has not been distributed. Generally speaking, the book begins with central theological issues about the church such as the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, the biblical definition of the church, church leadership, sacraments, and discipline before proceeding to discuss issues such as love, unity, multi-campus and video venue churches, missional churches, use of technology for ministry, and the role of the church in culture. Each blog post will give an introduction to each chapter and also an excerpt to help to encourage you to purchase the book for yourself, your church/ministry leaders, and anyone else who could benefit from it at www.ReLit.org.
