Description
A timeless classic for solid grounding and renewal. Is your church adrift? Many churches are struggling to stay focused--to stay on point and hold fast to gospel essentials. Competing voices threaten to divide rather than unite and grow the church. Dr. Gene Getz has written a classic, insightful, biblical treatise on church renewal. Getz focuses on New Testament principles as applied to the unique needs of contemporary culture and roots readers in the perspective of the history of the show more church. Discover how to sharpen your church's focus through the lenses of Scripture, church history, and present-day needs. As you embark on this in-depth study of New Testament teaching, you'll experience the power of the Word and the power of the Spirit transforming your church from the inside out. You'll find positive, biblical solutions to the problems facing the church today, with practical advice for finding solutions to contemporary questions. show lessTags

Sharpening the focus of the Church seems to be a basic course book on Church. While the biblical principles do not change, there is new discussion about some topics. And of course if one does not share Getz's baptist/house church/plural elder views the book might be frustrating for him at points. Written in 80s - before postmodernism - I think our professor should renew his required biography. However, I'll be getting own copy of this book one day in my library.
