This book discusses the question that the author regards as central in the present ecumenical debate: the nature of the Church itself. He thus describes the plan of the book: The First chapter sketches the present context of the discussion and touches on the Biblical meaning of the word "Church." The next three chapters examine the three answers to the central question, which may be roughly categorized as Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal. The last two chapters argue that the Church is only to be understood in a perspective that is at once eschatological and missionary, the perspective of the ends of the earth. Bishop Newbigin's evaluations are provacative, scholarly, and filled with profound passion and insight. He is concerned with the searching questions men today are asking: Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found and how is it that those who claim to be spokesmen of that holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature? I think there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give plain and simple answers. This he does, drawing deeply upon biblical sources.

What is the nature of the Church? The Church is a living organism as the Body of Christ. It is the expression of God visible in this world and is unified spiritually, being one Church as God is One. The Church is the visible presence of the Kingdom of God in Christ on earth. Matthew 3:2, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17, "From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." It is a kingdom based in another world or existence. The Church, and everything else, was created for Christ. He is the head of his Body, the Church, in which he reconciles all believing human beings to God and presents them blameless before Him. The Church, being created for Christ, was created by Christ, and has existed from the beginning. The Church was God's plan before He created and it is the eschatological plan of God through the Cross. Christ is the fulfillment, and the Church, as his Body, is the future plan of God. It is all to the praise of his glory. This book explores the Church from the viewpoint of the Bible and includes the views of East and West, Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox, along with the Early Church Fathers.
