The Simple Pattern: A Straight-Forward Explanation of Institutionalism & Related Issues

by Jim Deason, Steve Wolfgang (Contributor)

"...I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth." (1 Timothy 3:15)
In the 1950's and 60's, a spiritual war was waged within churches of Christ. At issue were fundamental questions of authority and church governance that are still relevant

In The Simple Pattern , general editor Jim Deason brings together an exceptional group of preachers whose voices need to be heard. By combining sound doctrine, practical application, and first-hand experience they bring clarity to the confusing debates surrounding these issues.

Reading The Simple Pattern will provide a clear, concise, conservative view of these vital subjects, and will help future Christians unite around the biblical work and mission of the Lord's church.

Mostly good. Offerings by Paul Earnhart, Carrol Sutton & Bill Hall were particularly insightful and helpful. Steve Wolfgang's historical perspective was interesting.
