What is the Church? If we want to minister to today's
broken world we need to understand what Scripture means by
the Church. New Testament writes about the body of Christ
and the Kingdom of God. For the writer to the Hebrews, the
Church of today finds its most proper definition in terms
of the historical experience of the old covenant people of
God "in the wilderness" during the days of Moses. For him,
the Church is: God's people in the wilderness. His unifying
perspective on this vital question of the Church's self-
definition provides fresh insight into the nature of the
Church--an insight that has the promise of reviving and
redefining the life of Christ's people even today. Rooted
in the redemptive experience of the old covenant people of
God, this life-shaping self-definition may provide much-
needed aid to the confused state of churches in Christ for
the 21st century. Palmer Robertson will help us consider
the nature and mission of the people of God in today's
world as defined by Hebrews.
