Editorial Review: Product Description: As a companion volume to COME TO THE TABLE and DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY, this book completes a trilogy on the three ordinances; of the Stone-Campbell Movement. A GATHERED PEOPLE is an in-depth biblical, historical, and theological study of the Christian assembly or Lord's Day. It examines Hebrew assemblies in the Old Testament, Christian assemblies in the NT, the changing nature of assemblies in Christian history, and the assembly in the Stone-Campbell heritage. It concludes with a theological argument about the nature and purpose of the assembly, and reflections on Christian assemblies today. Alexander Campbell taught that there were three ordinances in the Christian faith ... The Lord's Supper, Baptism and the Lord's Day. This series revisions those ordinances and helps us better understand our relationship to our Father God. The other two books of this series are: Come to the Table: Revisioning the Lord's Supper by John Mark Hicks and Down in the River to Pray: Revisioning Baptism as God s Transforming Power by John Mark Hicks and Greg Taylor.

John Mark was almost a professor of mine, I do not know Johnny, and Bobby Valentine is a friend. Once again this book will cause some controversy, but it is not really controversial. It is a great work on the development and background of worship in the churches of Christ. The authors trace worship from Israel to Acts-Luke on to the early centuries into the reformation, and onto the Restoration Movement. At the end of the book, ... Read More
