Behold the Pattern
"This work is typical Goebel Music. It is written carefully, precisely, lovingly, and with complete respect and reverence for the inspiration and authority of the Word of God. The book is both positive and negative. This is, while pointing out false doctrines now plaguing God's people, it at the same time emphasizes the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.
Approximately the first one half of the book is devoted to a thorough and devastating exposure of the false teachers among us - some of the leading men involved in current liberalism - and their false doctrines. In this connection, brother Goebel is careful to give the pertinent specific details. As he often stresses, 'if I do not have the documentation of it, I don't say it or write it!'
The second one half of the book is made up of a magnificent setting forth of great Bible doctrines now being attacked by so many 'who have gone out from us because they are no longer of us.' Brother Music emphasizes the pure gospel of Jesus Christ, the Lord's church, the inspiration and authority of the Bible, God's plan for man's salvation, the Christian's life in the Christ.
I explained to brother Music just this morning (July 27, 1991) that if I were involved in a situation wherein I would be teaching a class on 'Current Liberalism,' dealing thoroughly with the persons and the places and the false doctrines, and needed the best textbook (under these circumstances available), I would choose this book.
Every elder, every preacher, every teacher, every faithful servant of God needs to have and to study this book!..." (Review by Roy Deaver)

There is some good material in this book. At 600+ pages it is ponderous to read. Music could have been more succinct if he had not been such a human thesaurus.

This is an excellent apology on the church, the gospel, and fellowship as well as a look at certain liberal teachers who are infiltrating the church and corrupting the pure word of God. In a way this book is similar to Dave Miller's "Piloting the Strait."
