The Nature and Mission of the Church: Salvationist Ecclesiology in Dialogue with Wolfhart Pannenberg

This is an academic work of the highest quality, but Jean-Marc Flkiger presents it in a way that makes it very accessible far beyond academic circles. It is a testament to his sharp intellect, but even more to his love of God, commitment to The Salvation Army, and heartfelt dedication to the Church's mission in the world.Henrik Andersen, Territorial Leader of The Salvation Army Switzerland-Austria-Hungary Jean-Marc Flkiger's book is a welcome reflection on the missionary impulse of Christian churches. I found it particularly helpful to consider the interplay of the three main «ingredients of mission, namely worship of God, community life, and service to the world.Christophe Chalamet, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Geneva
