DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from How the Disciples Began and Grew: A Short History of the Christian Church This volume is in the main a condensation of the authors larger work, "The Restoration Movement of the Nineteenth Century" and its aim is to meet the wants of that large class of readers in this busy age who have persuaded themselves that they have not the time to read anything but a condensed story. It claims not to be elaborate or exhaustive, but representative and reliable. It would bring out such features of our history as will give one a good understanding of the most remarkable religious movement since New Testament times. But it is hoped that all who can do so, will also read the larger book on which this one is based. Each chapter is followed by a number of review questions which will help to rivet the principal thoughts in the mind of the reader. Be sure to study these questions; and if you find that you can not readily answer them, it is evidence that you should reread the chapter. The author believes that in all our schools and homes more time should be given to the study of our history. It is not sufficient to acquaint the student with church history as a whole, but he should become familiar with our own individual history, which is more interesting than a novel, and more thrilling than romance.

Gregg Allison thus explores and synthesizes all that Scripture affirms about the new covenant people of God, capturing a full picture of the biblical church. He covers the topics of the church's identity and characteristics; its growth through purity, unity, and discipline; its offices and leadership structures; its ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper; and its ministries. Here is a rich approach to ecclesiology consisting of sustained doctrinal reflection and wise, practical application. Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →If you are serious about being a disciple of Jesus Christ, a discipleship group can help you achieve that goal. Jesus established this model by forming and leading the first discipleship group—and it worked. The men who emerged from that group took the gospel to the world, and ultimately laid down their lives for Christ. Growing Up: How to Be a Disciple Who Makes Disciples offers a manual for making disciples, addressing the what, why, where, and how of discipleship. Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church and founder and president of Replicate Ministries, teaches you how to utilize D-Groups to grow your relationship with God, how to defend your faith, and how to guide others in their relationships with God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly probed, investigated and debated. And the results have varied widely. Perhaps some now regard this issue as the burned-over district of New Testament scholarship. Could there be any new and promising approach to this problem? Yes, answers Michael Licona. And he convincingly points us to a significant deficiency in approaching this question: our historiographical orientation and practice. So he opens this study with an extensive consideration of historiography and the particular problem of investigating claims of miracles. This alone is a valuable contribution. But then Licona carefully applies his principles and methods to the question of Jesus' resurrection. In addition to determining and working from the most reliable sources and bedrock historical evidence, Licona critically weighs other prominent hypotheses. His own argument is a challenging and closely argued case for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. Any future approaches to dealing with this 'prize puzzle' of New Testament study will need to be routed through The Resurrection of Jesus.
