Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church
Book Review: Generous Justice, by Tim Keller
Review by Jonathan Leeman | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.26.2010Some people on the transformationalist side of the spectrum should read this to have their theology corrected. For myself, I needed a heart correction.
Book Review: The Mission of God’s People, by Christopher Wright
Review by Bobby Jamieson | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010We need to ask “What is the mission of the local church?” not merely “What is the mission of the individual Christian?”
Book Review: The Mission of God, by Christopher Wright
Review by Mike Gilbart-Smith | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.25.2010A 500 page book on mission that doesn’t stare—in fact, doesn’t even glance—at the reality of hell for the unevangelized has lost its bearings.
Book Review: Living in God’s Two Kingdoms, by David VanDrunen
Review by Bobby Jamieson | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010In many ways, this book is the most helpful, balanced contribution to the evangelical conversation about Christianity and culture that I’ve yet read.

Book Review: To Change the World, by James Davison Hunter
Review by Greg Gilbert | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010Hunter’s book is immediately relevant—and a corrective in many ways—to the current conversation going on among evangelicals

Review by Steve Boyer | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.25.2010If you are experienced with helping the poor, you may already be familiar with much of this book’s content. But if you’re new, then this book will be especially useful

Miscellaneous Book Reviews
Book Review: The Priority of Preaching, by Christopher Ash
Review by Alistair Begg | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010All in all I found this short book to be as helpful as anything that I’ve read in a long while on expository preaching. I commend it warmly to all.
Book Review: Taking Your Church to the Next Level, by Gary McIntosh
Review by Matt Smethurst | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010I doubt whether this book is a biblically faithful and therefore helpful book for pastors. I’d be more inclined to recommend it to a friend in business than to a pastor.
Book Review: Counsel from the Cross, by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Dennis Johnson
Review by Deepak Reju | 9Marks Journal: Book Reviews on the Mission of the Church | 10.27.2010These authors understand that the proper context for spiritual growth is a local church and not our own individualistic endeavors.
