a resurgence of trinitarian interest gained momentum in the twentieth century and it is showing little sign of abating in the twenty-first century. this research endeavors to critically evaluate miroslav volf's ecclesial model for "the church as the image of the trinity," one that he presents with the english title, after our likeness. volf proposes a social doctrine of the trinity, one that is heavily influenced by the theological writings of jurgen moltmann, and he puts forward that this nonhierarchical trinity should be reflected in the structures and theology of the church. if volf is correct, then a radical reshaping is needed for the church to conform to an egalitarian pattern, one that is "after the likeness" (gen 1:26) of an egalitarian god. in this critical examination, kevin j. bidwell begins by stating the theological influences that are pertinent to volf's thesis in after our likeness and the assumptions that undergird and inform his whole theological paradigm. an important theological excursus is offered to assess the theology of john smyth, the first english baptist, who is volf's representative figure for the location of his own ecclesiology, the free church. a critical analysis follows of volf's engagement with his two chosen dialogue partners who represent both western and eastern theological traditions: joseph ratzinger and john d. zizioulas. volf presents five theses for "the church as the image of the trinity," which could be labeled as volf's free church in the image of volf's revised doctrine of the trinity. this monograph offers extensive insight into the contemporary debate on the doctrine of the trinity, but it also assesses many aspects of ecclesiology from both eastern and western perspectives.

if the divine liturgy really is as beautiful as we claim, wouldn’t more people attend? wouldn’t the church grow? driven by our desire for growth, we count, we analyze, we make charts, and we strategize, but often with few discernible results. that is probably the result of focusing on secondary aspects of church life. as we know, the very existence of a church is a gift of god’s presence and not the result of any particular actions taken by human beings. for that reason, church is primarily about being something rather than doing or achieving something. so the growth of the church is not reflected in ever-increasing numbers, dollars, and activities, but rather in steadily growing conformity to the divine ideal. so in order to evaluate ecclesial growth, we will first have to ask what the church is supposed to be. one answer to that question is captured in the four marks of the church given in the creed: oneness, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity. these four characteristics serve as a matrix or framework within which we can focus on the primary aspects of ecclesial being and help it grow and become what it was intended to be.

why plan strategy? is church growth theory incompatible with belief in the sovereignty of god? does adherence to church growth principles leave out dependency upon the work of the holy spirit? c. peter wagner answers no to both questions. he further believes that no task could be more crucial than fulfilling the great commission in our generation, and how to approach and plan for the execution of this task is the questions of the day. strategies for church growth addresses this key issue in a biblically pragmatic way. it brings together for the first time many principles of evangelism and missions which have proved, through recent research and experience, to be effective in implementing the great commission. it also unifies, in concise form, the latest research of the church growth movement, the lausanne committee on world evangelization, the u.s. center for world mission and numerous other key contributors to the recent explosion of evangelistic technology. among the topics explored are: - the major components of strategy - choosing the appropriate strategy - advantages of having a strategy - the theology of church growth - the harvest principle and soil testing - why you should aim for church growth - characteristics of good goals - the meaning of mission and evangelism - how to target your outreach
