The Essential Handbook of Denominations and Ministries

Within the body of Christ there is unity of purpose, yet great diversity. We serve one Savior but in a myriad of different ministry contexts. So what are the origins of contemporary denominations and ministries? What makes them unique? And whom do they serve? The Essential Handbook of Denominations and Ministries is your easy-to-use guide to more than two hundred of the largest denominations and three hundred ministries in the United States. The entry for each organization includes a brief history, a contemporary profile, and discussion on doctrinal emphases, creeds, membership, and interdenominational and ecumenical alliances. Pastors, ministry leaders, community leaders, and students will find this resource a helpful guide as they seek to understand and interact with Christian denominations and ministries across the country.
