The Human Church in the Presence of Christ:  The Congregation Rediscovered
by VICTOR L. HUNTER, M. Div., D. Min. ('64) and Phillip Johnson, Ed.

"The Human Church in the Presence of Christ" is not another "how-to" book for Christian ministers, not is it an abstract, academic treatise on ecclesiology.  The authors' church is "the gathered people of God" in a local, particular congregation, "where person faces person in the presence of Jesus."  For the authors, the central question is "how the Christian congregation can be a concrete sign of such  love in our particular time and place."  For Hunter and Johnson the congregation must be the gathered people of God and a sacramental community, in which they find cretive tension that is liberating and life-giving.  The treat traditional topics, but each task and each moment in the life of a church is seen anew, producing a working understanding of the church addressed to every concerned Christian.
