Do you believe in the Church? Should we believe in the Church? Dr. Joseph Clair asks us to consider the meaning of “church,” thinking about the metaphors this element of Christian faith requires and what gifts we have received from the “Early Church” (roughly 100-500 AD). This is the first in a four-part series we’re calling our “Church History Bootcamp,” which will narrate what happened after the New Testament and why the Church is what it is today.
