“The staff of Resource Publications has been privileged to bring this study of Living and Worshiping as the Body of Christ to its completion and publication. As the reader will observe, the book is a compilation of Everett’s writings over the past several years. . . . It has been said, 'Everett Ferguson leads the world in early church studies.’ He is a Bible scholar of the highest rank, and yet, he is obedient in spirit and deeply concerning about discerning the teaching of the text of the Scriptures and applying them to our present challenges and questions” (“Foreword).
