Reforming and Renewing the Church – Gospel Confidence From Scripture and History
Christ has not abandoned his church
And his word has not lost its power.
That’s the conviction behind Lee Gatiss’s new book, Reforming and Renewing the Church: Gospel Confidence from Scripture and History, a new collection of his writing on this timely topic.
There’s plenty around at the moment to discourage Christians: theological confusion, institutional failure, cultural hostility, and seemingly endless predictions of the church’s decline. But does Scripture — or history — really teach us to despair?
Across nearly 400 pages, Lee draws on the Bible and two thousand years of Christian history to think about preaching, mission, church leadership, perseverance, reform and renewal, and the unique saving claims of Christ.
It’s not a book arguing that everything is fine. It’s an argument for gospel confidence: Christ has not abandoned his church, and his word has not lost its power.
