The Kingdom Expressions: Trends Influencing the Advancement of the Gospel - Paperback

by J. D. Payne (Author)

In our changing world, how do Christians come together in non-traditional ways?

For the Christian, there's value in learning about expressions of our own beliefs that may be unfamiliar.

In Kingdom Expressions, an expert takes a look at some of the most significant, gospel-advancing movements and trends to take place in the latter twentieth and twenty-first centuries in the United States, including:

• The Church Growth Movement
• Missional Church Movement
• Multisite Movement
• The rise of church planting networks
• The House Church Movement
• The Emerging Church Movement

You'll be quickly introduced to each expression of Christianity--what each means and what it looks like in practice; along with important convictions, history, and influential leaders.

Features include:

• A close look at non-denominational movements that reach new people in Christ's name.
• Explanations of how contemporary Christianity is changing and why.
• A concise guide to non-traditional Christian groups.
