How Christ Came to Church: the Pastor's Dream; A Spiritual Autobiography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780359737710)

How Christ Came to Church is an autobiography by preacher, author and educator Adoniram Judson Gordon. The author seeks to frame his life in his very identity as a man of God, with decades of experience establishing and working for the Christian church. We receive a superb discussion on both the events that defined Gordon's career; the attitude to the church as an institution; the vitality of preaching; and Christ as a crucial thread through all. The religious and theological second part is, owing to its general departure from ordinary biographical narrative, framed as the author's 'dream'. It is here that the author details his ideas of church roles and Jesus in greatest detail. The qualities the physical structure of a church must have, as a temple and place of God, are amply detailed. The third and final part is concerned with the character of A. J. Gordon himself; how he efforted to conform his life and deeds with those of Christ.
