A Scripture-based study of the church

Edward C. Wharton examines how the New Testament describes the church and its identity. The book organizes biblical passages around the idea that Scripture sets out a pattern for the church, tracing that pattern through the apostles’ teaching and the practices of early Christians. Its subject is both theological and historical: how the church is presented in the New Testament, and how that account informs an understanding of its distinctiveness. The systematic approach makes the biblical text the organizing thread throughout.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian teaching about the church and its biblical foundations
  • Those studying New Testament passages and early Christian practice
  • Readers exploring Christianity’s denominational and church-history subjects

Book overview

The Distinctive Nature of the New Testament Church Behind the historical church of the New Testament lies the purpose and wisdom of God. The New Testament church is a unique institution of divine origin. The systematic study of Scripture reveals that Christianity is ordered after a pattern and possess a distinct identity: designed by the Lord, conveyed through the words of the apostles, and seen in the practice of early Christians. Only when following this pattern can we fulfill the command to glorify God in the church. In this study, Edward C. Wharton establishes that Scripture contains a divine pattern for the church of Christ. He then presents a systematic study of the biblical passages relating to the church, creating a clear understanding of the pattern set by God.
