On Being the Church of Jesus Christ in Tumultuous Times

joerjones · July 24, 2005 · Leave a Comment

This collection of essays, sermons, and prayers urges the church today to “be the sort of community that sustains a vigorous and continuing conversation within itself as to who has called it into being, to whom it is responsible, and what it is called to be and to do.” Jones reminds the church that it is an alternative political community called into being by the Gospel. This collection explores what it means to be such an alternative community in “tumultuous times,” in times when it is tempting to look to the world for answers, and to confuse loyalty to the nation-state with loyalty to God. A theme throughout all the writings is that “the church is the necessary context for becoming and being a Christian.”
