What Is the Church? Foundational Truths from God’s Word At the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians in Africa numbered approximately nine million—by the end, that number had grown to more than 380 million. As the number of Christians continues to grow, African pastors are often overwhelmed and in desperate need of guidance. Drawing from three decades of pastoral experience in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe has written a comprehensive handbook specifically for African pastors and church leaders. Structured around twenty commonly asked questions about God’s design for the church, this helpful resource covers topics ranging from the definition of church and the role of church members to the importance of doctrine. Through this book, Mbewe aims to equip pastors and leaders with biblical principles that will “permeate the landscape of Africa and transform its churches for generations to come.” Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks. Written by an experienced pastor of over 30 years Foreword by Glenn Lyons, Bishop of the Reformed Evangelical Anglican Church, South Africa Addresses the biblical church, focusing specifically in Africa Written in partnership with 9Marks and the Gospel Coalition Deals with issues plaguing the church in Africa such as family and tribal ties, the influence of African traditional religion, and misconceptions about the church Applicable to African diaspora churches throughout the world
