What on Earth is the Church?
An Inquirer's Guide
The author's focus and intention for this book was provoked by several stimuli.

Über den Autor
Robert Thornton (Bob) Henderson has had a long and colorful career as a pastor, mentor, Presbyterian denominational leader, ecumenical participant, author, encourager, and missiologist through some tumultuous cultural episodes.
