Author Description

Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Vol. 53: October, 1959 The Church is the frontier of the Kingdom, the point at which God's rule invades the world. It is the community in which God's new order is already at work. Because it must protest against the false nature of life in the world and live in a society of people who do not obey God's rule, like Jesus, the Church is a pilgrim on the earth. It lives a broken life. It is the world's best friend and finest hope; yet the world often hates and despises it. Being a member of the Church is not easy, because it means being a member of a community of people who are constantly protesting against a sinful world, constantly maladjusted to a world that is not real, and constantly agonizing for the world of God's intention.
