Is the city all that important for gospel work?
Interesting counter punch here to the whole ‘city’ approach to modern urban theology and outreach. Obviously written to stimulate debate rather than being the final argument, but stimulating nonetheless. I really like Carl Trueman because he just sticks a little grenade into the mixer…
Is Church Membership Biblical?
