Building on last week’s conversation with Daniel Hill, I spoke with David Emerton about his systematic theological approach to ecclesiology. He outlines key distinctions between divine essence and human agency and uses these to frame four models of the church. David proposes a concept he calls "ecclesiological ecclesiology," which reframes how we talk about and live out what it means to be the church—before we jump into doing church.
