Barry Harvey provides a doctrine of the church that combines Baptist distinctives and origins with an unbending commitment to the visible church as the social body of Christ. Speaking to the broader Christian community, Harvey updates, streamlines, and recontextualizes the arguments he made in an earlier edition of this book (Can These Bones Live?). This new edition offers a style of ecclesial witness that can help Christian churches engage culture. The author suggests new ways Baptists can engage ecumenically with Catholics and other Protestants, offers insights for Christian worship and practice, and shows how the fragmented body of Christ can be re-membered after Christendom.

Barry Harvey (PhD, Duke University) is professor of theology in the Honors College at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. An ordained Baptist minister, he has served as a theologian and teacher in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and is the author or coauthor of several books.
