Tradition, Opinion, and Truth: The Emerging Church of Christ

by Fred Peatross, Garry Knighton (Foreword by), Buff Scott (Introduction)

There was a time when the church of Christ was the fastest growing Christian group in America. Their goal was the unity of all believers through Jesus Christ. Their membership was known as a people of the Book. But through the years the churches of Christ gradually left their noble plea of unity for an exclusive religion.No longer does the outsider recognize the restoration churches as a unity movement. Today theyre known more as the group who thinks theyre the only ones going to Heaven. No longer does one think people of the Book, when someone mentions the church of Christ. Unfortunately, the membership has stopped reading and thinking. Theyve learned that its dangerous to think independent of the party line. When you do, you risk rejection and excommunication. Heres a book that will challenge, encourage, and stimulate your thinking.It's candid, confessional, and gently confrontational. Fred Peatross has some words about traditions, opinions, and scripture. So grab your glasses and a highlighter and sit back in your Lazy-Boy for the next two hours as you take a journey through the traditions and truths of the Lords Supper, a cappella music, evangelism, giving, baptism, and many more.
