"The spirituality of the church needs to be recovered in an age in which all is politicized. Such a recovery might aid the church in its relationship to the world, both in how the church distinguishes itself from the world and how it gives itself to the world. This book seeks to persuade the church that her primary calling as a church is a spiritual calling for a spiritual mission: to carry out the Great Commission, not to mirror the political, social, and economic agendas that various worldly organizations have as their primary concern"-- Provided by publisher.
