What if the way many Christians think about church membership is neither biblical nor historical?
In Beyond Church Membership, John Kuyper Liberty challenges the modern voluntary association model of church membership and argues that Scripture, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the testimony of church history point to a richer vision of the church. Believers belong first and foremost to Christ and therefore to his one holy catholic and apostolic church.
With careful biblical exegesis, historical research, and pastoral concern, Liberty contends that modern membership practices have often narrowed the church into something different than Christ intended. He calls church officers and ordinary Christians to recover the historic parish instinct and to rethink what it means to live as one body, under one Lord, with one faith and one baptism.
Drawing from Scripture and historical Christian sources, Beyond Church Membership offers a compelling case for visible unity, faithful shepherding, and biblical reform.
