The Mission of Today's Church: Baptist Leaders Look at Modern Faith IssuesB&H Publishing Group, 2007 - 210 من الصفحات The Mission of Today's Church is a compelling collection of twelve essays from current Baptist leaders addressing three major questions: (1) What does it mean to be a Christian today on individual, group, and societal levels?
