The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples: Making Church Discipline Edifying - Paperback

by James Durham (Author), Matthew Vogan (Editor), Catherine Ryan Hyde (Editor)

Mention church discipline, and people often react in discomfort. But Jesus made discipline a test of whether a church meets His approval. In The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples, Scottish Presbyterian James Durham helps us see how God uses discipline to purify the Church and restore His children, answering common questions about its nature and practice. Updated into modern English, Durham's classic treatment on the importance of church discipline can now help a new generation embrace this God-ordained practice.
