Since its publication, The Trellis and Vine - co-authored by Tony Payne and Colin Marshall - has been widely commended for its articulation of a clear ministry vision: every Christian committing themselves to the task of making and growing disciples.
However, The Trellis and Vine proposed something more than just the conventional mantra of 'every-member ministry'. It proposed 'every-member word ministry'.
Naturally, readers had questions.
- What's the nature of this word ministry that all church members are expected to do? What does it actually look like?
- How does it relate to preaching? Is it doing a different thing?
- Is this just one option for growing a church? Or is it the right option? What does the Bible say?
- Even if we agree in theory, how do we make it a practical reality?
So Tony Payne set out to do more thinking and provide some answers. Nearly ten years and a PhD later, he has discovered two very surprising realities: firstly, how little theological reflection and writing there has been on this topic; yet, secondly, how extensively the Bible talks about it.
In Let the Word Dwell Richly, Tony Payne brings a new rigour and depth to the ministry mind-shift that will revolutionize the effectiveness of the ministry we pursue in our churches.
