The Church, What Is It?

"The Church, What Is It?" is a comprehensive theological exploration of the New Testament church, presented through ten distinct lectures by W.T.P. Wolston. This work examines the scriptural foundations of the Christian community, focusing on how the church was established, endowed, and unified according to apostolic teaching. Wolston meticulously analyzes the spiritual architecture of the early church, emphasizing its divine mandate and its call to be both united and free from worldly entanglements.

The lectures delve into the essential characteristics of the church as a spiritual body, providing a deep dive into ecclesiology that remains grounded in biblical text. By investigating the historical and theological underpinnings of church governance and collective identity, the author offers readers a clear perspective on the church's role in the New Testament era and its enduring spiritual significance. "The Church, What Is It?" serves as an important resource for students of biblical history and Christian theology, offering a scholarly yet accessible study of the body of Christ. This collection is particularly valuable for those seeking to understand the historical development of church doctrine and the pursuit of a faith community aligned with New Testament principles.
