The Free Church and the Early Church Bridging the historical and theological divide
Williams, D. H.
The Free Church and the Early Church Bridging the historical and theological divide Daniel H. Williams - U.S.A. William B. Eerdmans Pub. 2002 - 183tr. Paperback 23 cm
Growing concerns over dramatic but shiftless worship, lack of ecclesiastical accountability, and ""trendy"" theology are prompting many evangelical and free church communions to seek a firmer base for their Christian faith and practice. This challenging book argues that only a rediscovery of the church's patristic roots will help free church and evangelical Protestantism preserve its identity in light of its present tendencies toward internal fragmentation and accommodation to Western culture... In their honest search for a truly orthodox and biblical Christianity, they define some of the problems with current Protestant perspectives and suggest ways to bridge the gulf currently separating free church Christianity from its patristic past.
