Written from an American Baptist standpoint, this book is comprehensive and challenging and recommended to all Christians.
Five sections of the volume are: What is the Church? Who is the Church? How is the Church governed? What does the Church do? Where is the Church going? An annotated bibliography follows each main part. The bibliographies reveal that by comparison with other subjects the doctrine of the church is neglected, and very much so from a Baptist standpoint.
