    The Emergence of the Church

    Context, Growth, Leadership Worship

    by Arthur G. Patzia

    The early church did not descend from heaven on a golden string. Nor did it spring full-grown from the mind of Jesus or the apostles.

The focal point of this action was Jesus--his ministry, death and resurrection. But there were challenges, setbacks and conflicts, ...

"There's nothing to it," I assured her flippantly. ...
