Short review: This is a very good introduction to the concept of community as a movement of God. Perkins is well known to me. I have read almost everything written by him or about him and seen him speak on a number of occasions over the last 20 years. This is a much stronger focus on the role and need for community that much of Perkin's other writing. Also the co-author, Charles Marsh, does a good job to give theological and cultural context to Perkin's chapters.
