The Conservative Church

Christians ought to be concerned with conserving all it means to be Christian, so as to pass this on to others. This book encourages church members in general and pastors in particular to consider practical methods to recover a more full-orbed Christianity in the context of a local church.

“We welcome this second edition of The Conservative Church: Preserving and Transmitting Biblical Christianity. It covers a remarkable breadth of important considerations in a well-organized division into three major areas of Orthodoxy (right doctrine), Orthopraxy (right practice), and Orthopathy (right feelings). People tend to love the church as they love their family; some do so by joyfully celebrating life with it; some others, however, while celebrating family life, also are interested in their family’s history and perhaps in the sociology of family, both enjoying their own experience and reflecting on it. This book is for the latter, for people who not only delight in their experience in the church, but would like to understand why and how it should delight both us and God.”
