However, ecclesiology has been the Cinderella of evangelicalism for the past fifty years or more. It is therefore great to see a generation of Baptist pastors once more concerned to argue for and spell out the biblical teaching on the life and order of the local church. This short and accessible book makes an invaluable contribution to the rediscovery of a biblically vibrant local church life.
