The Church Speaks: Volume 2; Papers of the Commission on Theology Reformed Church in America, 1985-2000

A probing look at the development of church teaching With the passing of time and the development of significant cultural changes, the Reformed Church in America has continued to examine its perspectives on Christian teaching. Here the contemporary doctrinal positions of the RCA, as presented by its Commission on Theology, are gathered into one convenient reference work. The informative papers included here are divided into six chapters according to these major themes: Scripture, faith, sacraments, ministry, witness, and sexuality. Within these documents are important statements on such topics as Christian witness in today's pluralistic society, the role and authority of women in ministry, Christian witness to Muslims, and the church and homosexuality. The Church Speaks will be valued by anyone affiliated with the Reformed Church in America or interested in the relation of religion and society.
