Summary

This second edition of The Teaching Ministry of the Church makes a major overhaul of its predecessor, expanding the content from eighteen to twenty-three chapters and its team of Ph.D. contributors from six to thirteen. The update of content keenly matches the world's ever-changing conditions, taking into account, for example, the secularization of our culture, proliferation of religious sects, and rise of Islamic fundamentalism that so greatly increase the importance of ensuring churches produce fully developed, biblically informed followers of Jesus.
