Publisher's Synopsis:
Together on God’s Mission investigates Southern Baptist history, showing how and why the Southern Baptist Convention came to embrace the vision of a cooperative denomination. It also explores how this vision has shaped denominational identity and structure. This historical study is followed by a discussion of the biblical description of how the mission of God determines the mission of the church. This study shows that God’s mission is not simply furthered by churches working together, but rather that cooperation between churches makes up a key component of God’s mission. Finally, the study concludes that the Southern Baptist Convention is uniquely positioned to enable churches to fully participate in God’s mission to redeem the nations and restore creation from the effects of the Fall.
My Thoughts: A short but well-written book that expresses and informs the reader of SBC's history and the co-operative program. It deals with the past and also what may happen with the younger generations that are coming up in the church.
A very informative book on how the SBC operates and understanding the challenges that the cooperation faces.
An interesting read for anyone interested in the SBC.
