Why We Stayed: Honesty and Hope in the Churches of Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946849199)

The Church of Christ, at this present hour, is host to a multitude of frustrated and disenchanted ministers and scholars. From the inside of ministry, the veneer of our movement disappears and the blemishes take center-stage. Discouragement is common. In response to this state of affairs, we asked an eclectic cast of authors, ministers, and scholars to answer the question, "Why did you stay within our movement?" The result is a diverse set of answers which we hope will create some hope for the future of our people.Contents: Preface, Scot McKnightIntroduction, Benjamin J.
