What is the nature of the church? How should members behave toward one another? What does Christian unity mean? Packer explores these issues along with topics such as the celebration of the Lord's Supper. From dealing with the church as it is, Packer moves on to examine the church as it should be, discussing revival and renewal in a church context.

This new book makes the case for a recovery of significant catechesis as a nonnegotiable practice of churches, showing the practice to be...
