The Household Of God by Lesslie Newbigin
Lectures on the Nature of the Church
A concise exploration of the church’s nature and mission, this work contrasts three dominant patterns of Christian life: institutional and sacramental continuity, the centrality of the Word and personal faith, and the immediacy of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. It critiques the reductions each can fall into—mere hierarchy, mere preaching, or mere enthusiasm—and proposes an integrated vision that holds Word, sacrament, and Spirit together. With a strong ecumenical thrust, it calls for visible unity and portrays the church as a community that is both sign and instrument of God’s reconciling purpose in the world.
