Publisher's Synopsis
What if the Church understood its governing principles as being derived from a biblical Constitution, a blue-print for the organic union of those who make up the body of Christ? Dr. Ron Cottle says that such a Constitution of the Ekklesia does exist and is written for us in in the fourth chapter of Ephesians. In his unique and powerful manner, Dr. Cottle examines the explicit, unambiguous language that the wise master builder (Gk. architékton, 1 Cor. 3:10) of the Ekklesia uses in defining the foundational document of the Ekklesia. It is here, in these sixteen verses, that Paul communicates his revelation from the Lord, the manner by which the Church is to be governed under the headship of Jesus Christ.
