Reclaiming a Heritage

No one has thought more about the history and future of Churches of Christ than Richard Hughes. In this volume he powerfully demonstrates how an understanding of our history can help us be 'more biblical, more faithful to the cross, and more devoted to the cause of God.' Not content merely to tell what happened, Hughes pushes readers to see the implications of our history for both individuals and churches. Focusing on competing ways we have interpreted Scripture, he proposes a radial remedy to our cultural accommodation, lack of voice for social justice, and abandonment of the original vision for restoration. His love for Churches of Christ is clear as he calls us to reclaim the strengths of our heritage in order to be all that God would have us be.
