Evaluating the Church Growth Movement: 5 Views (Counterpoints: Church Life)

Part of the acclaimed Counterpoints: Church Life series, Evaluating the Church Growth Movement: 5 Views provides a balanced, scholarly forum evaluating the principles, methodologies, and theological foundations of Donald McGavran's Church Growth Movement. Edited by Gary L. McIntosh, prominent evangelical missiologists and theologians articulate five major perspectives: the classical approach, the receptive-people approach, the historic approach, the kingdom-centered approach, and the missional church approach. With critical responses from each contributor following every chapter, this volume is an indispensable textbook for seminarians, pastors, and church planters.
