The modern Church is suffering from crises in identity, belief and involvement with the state and when you read this collection of works by William Barker you will soon discover that they are all connected.
The reason why the church has problems interacting with government is because it doesn't fully understand its mission, history and authority.
This work shows that the church should look for in creating proper relationships with the state, other faiths and society in general.
He also explains how we should deal with divisions inside the church and what role the Bible should play in defining its faith.
