Summary

This provocative work challenges the idea that only a select few are called to minister to others, arguing that the clergy-laity division is not only biblically wrong but practically counterproductive. Urging a renewed role for laity in the church, this thought-provoking volume -- made more useful with case studies and study questions -- explains what it means to live as the people of God in everyday life. Features new cover.
