Book 1 - What Is "The Church"? -- INDEX
Is it possible today to be the church established by Jesus Christ? The church is the fulfillment of Christ's life and work--the fruit of His mission in the world. A biblical understanding of the church, therefore, is crucial to faithful Christian living and service. In this first of a series of studies on the church, Eddie Cloer urges a return to the Bible itself to define and examine the basic nature of "the church."


Book 2 - God's Design for "The Church?" -- INDEX
As the one prized possession of Jesus Christ, the church must be a focal point of the Christian's life, message, and mission. In Book 2 of his series, Eddie Cloer draws attention to how Christ established the church and how the Scriptures define and describe it. By examining the illustrations provided by the Holy Spirit, we can come to a better understanding of God's design and intention for the New Testament church.
