Eerdmans Pub.  c2002  a183tr.  bPaperback  c23 cm  aGrowing 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.  aProtestant churches  aTradition (Theology)  aEarly Church (30-600)  aTheology -- Early church4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11345/11.jpgyCover Image
