This book is ‘essential’ for today’s troubled church in a troubled world. Jonathan Lamb sets out very clearly the biblical mandate for true church unity, applies it in the real world, and helps us to work towards seeing it in our lives.
In an increasingly divided world the church should demonstrate a deep oneness, across secondary issues, status, culture, class and ethnicity. While obviously written before the recent highlighting of racial inequalities, the subject is very relevant.
