Total Church


The DG Blog has a good interview with the authors of a new book called, Total Church, by Tim Chester and Steve Timmis.

DG Blog:
A pair of Brits have a provocative book appearing in the States this month. Tim Chester and Steve Timmis published Total Church in the UK last year, and enough readers here have found it helpful to prompt Crossway Books and Mark Driscoll’s Resurgence ministry to pick up the title in the Re:Lit series. You can watch Tim Chester introduce the book at Crossway's blog.

Chester’s and Timmis’s refrain for what they are advocating in the book is “ordinary life with gospel intentionality.” They make a case for the church’s need to exercise “dual fidelity” to the content of the spoken gospel and the context of a relational community.

Tim Chester kindly agreed to answer a few questions below for the DG blog.

I got this book from the UK a few months ago and read/discussed it with some other guys. Great read. Very helpful as they define church as "A Gospel Community."
