Description
A study of Quaker decision-taking, seen as a form of dispute avoidance, and Quaker dispute resolution. At its core is an ethnography of one Quaker meeting, a faith group which meets for worship at a Quaker Meeting House. Thus the focus of the book is on one particular community.

顛覆現實的教會論
By 鮑維均信徒對教會既熟悉又陌生。熟悉，因教會有現實的層面，信徒在此敬拜、服侍；但聖經顛覆了一般人對教會的理解，卻是信徒感到陌生的。教會論並非抽象的神學理論，而是與信仰和生活息息相關，因為越認識教會的身份和使命，就越能夠體現基督十字架的福音。本書闡明顛覆現實的教會論，及其對信徒的意義，而且探討「婦女按牧」這個富爭議的課題，為教會的平等兩性關係，提供堅實的聖經神學基礎。* 本書屬於「聖研導讀叢書」。出版這套叢書，為要向讀者簡介當代聖經研究的課題 （主要是新約聖經），成為「聖經研究」的「導讀」。
