Resource Review: Vintage Church


Highly respected theologians Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears have produced a great book for those who are interested in finding out what scripture has to say about church. I have found this book quite funny as is Driscoll’s style, very informative and easy to read. Great follow on read from Christians Beleve (5).

This book from the popular Re: Lit series picks up where Vintage Jesus leaves off, beginning with a focus on the person and work of Jesus and then exploring the confessional, experiential, and missional aspects of his church. It defines a biblical church as one that properly balances the eternal truths of Scripture - church leadership, preaching, baptism, communion, and more - with timely, relevant methods designed to engage the culture, such as multi-campus churches and the latest forms of technology, to reach people with the gospel. While Vintage Church is helpful for pastors and church leaders, it is the kind of book you could hand to someone who has questions about ecclesiology but finds the very term ecclesiology intimidating. The authors put forth twelve practical questions about church doctrine and answer them in clear, biblical terms.
