"I love Jesus but hate the church." We hear this kind of talk all the time, but what if it's profoundly mistaken? Rob Bentz challenges readers to rethink this popular-yet ultimately harmful-mentality. Drawing on his experience as a pastor, Bentz helps those disenchanted with the church to rediscover its importance for the Christian life by examining the biblical, theological, and historical reasons why Christ's followers should embrace gospel-centered community-even when it's hard. Honest yet hopeful, The Unfinished Church provides an encouraging look at God's ultimate building project: his church.
