A Heritage In Crisis - Where We ve Been, Where We Are, Where We re Going in Churches of

Informationen zum Autor By Ralph K. Hawkins Klappentext The Churches in Christ are in growing disagreement about the direction that the Restoration Movement should take. A Heritage in Crisis introduces the background of this "identity crisis," evaluates nine specific issues that threaten to divide the Churches of Christ today-such as worship styles and women's roles-and suggests changes Churches in Christ can make in order to facilitate the change back to God's original intent for the church. More than simply an academic examination of doctrinal issues, A Heritage in Crisis seeks to identify a path by which the Churches of Christ might move into a future illuminated by the light of God's Word.
