To disclose the underlying mystery of the Church in relation to Christ and sinners, James Dallen traces the complex development of ecclesial repentance from the Church's first centuries to the present time. He shows that the Church has always worked with sinful members, assisting them to live out the implications of their baptismal conversion and recognizing them as members of its assemblies. It is in this history, the tradition that survives from those who have gone before marked by the sign of faith, that the Church must find the way to exercise the ministry of reconciliation today and in the future.

The Reconciling Community: The Missional Mending of Spiritual and Social Relationships Through Local Church Ministry is a case study of how one church crafted a missional ministry of reconciliation by building on the best of its past ministry experiences. This real-life example of the way one small congregation faced its future with honesty and integrity and embraced the challenge of re-imagining its ministry can model missional processes and engagement for congregations seeking to become communities of reconciliation in their own ministry contexts. Thoroughly researched, The Reconciling Community is written in an accessible style. Charles H. Warnock is a seasoned pastor and writer, and a frequent speaker at church ministry and leadership conferences. Warnock holds degrees from Mercer University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a DMin from Fuller Theological Seminary with emphases in missional leadership and pastoral care. Reading The Reconciling Community can give hope and direction to aging congregations and new church plants alike. Extensive footnotes and an essential bibliography introduce the reader to a wide range of resources. Pastors and lay leaders will find new insights and a compelling vision for churches as communities of reconciliation. In a time when society seems more divided that ever, The Reconciling Community points the way for churches to step into their biblical role not only as spiritual reconcilers, but as reconcilers of social relationships as well.

Community within the church today is hemorrhaging. Attention spans are dwindling, noise levels are increasing, and we can't seem to find time for real relationships. The answer to such social fragmentation can be found in small groups, and yet the majority of small groups—at least in the traditional sense—are often not the intentional, transformational community we really want and need. Somehow we need to get our groups off life support and into authentic community. Pastor Brad House helps us to re-imagine what gospel-centered community looks like and shares from his experience leading and reproducing healthy small groups. With wisdom and candor, House challenges us to think carefully about our own groups and to take steps toward cultivating communities that are able to glorify Jesus, bless one another, and participate in the mission of God.

How do we practice reconciliation in a world full of violence? How do we love someone at work who seems hell-bent on sabotaging a successful career? And how do religious people resolve differences when religious interpretations seem to lead to righteous indignation rather than reconciliation? We practice reconciliation, according to Michael Battle, by affirming that God is present and acting on that belief, even in the midst of something that looks more like the devil's work. Battle, who worked with Desmond Tutu in South Africa in the past, draws on his knowledge of biblical texts, as well as contemporary scholarship, to examine the ways in which each of us can practice being reconciling people.

Conflict resolution and peacemaking are not enough. What makes real reconciliation possible? Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice work from their experiences in Uganda and Mississippi to recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century.
