Abstract:
The theme of the church is treated from the perspective of the theology of
the Word. 1 Corinthians 5:19 is analyzed in the process. Divine revelation
is discussed in the light of its being in the nature of an once-and-for-all
event. This leads one to an understanding of the church in which the
church best acquits itself of its task in public worship. The task of the
church and the relationship between church and being a Christian are
then considered.
