"In the last twenty-five years, the contemporary house church movement has generated a great deal of interest among New Testament scholars and church practitioners. Research into early house churches has focused primarily on the architecture of these homes and on the corresponding social and theological implications." "House Church and Mission offers scholars the first comprehensive summary of evidence concerning home churches in the New Testament, while supplying pastors and lay leaders with a well-crafted discussion of the nature of "church" that explores the practical implications of house churches on outreach." "Christians worshipped in private homes for the first three hundred years of the early church. In House Church and Mission, Roger Gehring explores the missional significance of these house churches from the time of Jesus through Paul."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
