DE BEER, Jan M. The implications of ecclesiology's understanding of church and εκκλησία for the current missiology. Missionalia (Online) [online]. 2018, vol.46, n.1, pp.72-84. ISSN 2312-878X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7832/46-1-223.

This introductory study was initiated by the observation that authors about the church differ in their understanding of and approach to church and εκκλησία. An analysis of some authors reveals at least three main trends of ecclesiological approach that have an important influence on church missiology. The study concludes with the definition of important areas of study in both ecclesiology and missiology that can lead to a productive interaction between the modern day church and contemporary forms of εκκλησία as described in the New Testament.
