In this work new expressions of church are examined, explored, and evaluated. Through developing an ecclesiology based on incarnational and missional theology, Andrew creates a matrix through which to examine the diversity of the emerging church. This matrix is applied to the diverse practices of the emerging church to discern if there are seeds of hope in the new manifestations of church that are developing in the Western world. Practical examples, theological arguments, and new thinking meet in a work that examines something incredibly important for the world: the future of the church.
