Highly recommended reading for both the clergy and the laity,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Recovery of Doctrine in the Contemporary Church: An Essay in Philosophical Ecclesiology (Hardcover)
The Recovery Of Doctrine In The Contemporary Church: An Essay In Philosophical Ecclesiology by Richard Heyduck (Associate Pastor of Westbury United Methodist Church, Houston, Texas) is a scathing look at how modern ideas have altered or even marginalized church doctrine, particularly in the last century. Heyduck focuses upon Christian doctrine in general, and his own tradition of United Methodism in particular, in a forcefully written, candidly presented, articulate account of the importance of staying true to original church doctrine. A profound and persuasive case written to persuade ministers, evangelists, and churchgoers to rethink the impulse to change or accept changes as easily as the secular world accepts change, Pastor Heyduck's The Recovery Of Doctrine In The Contemporary Church: An Essay In Philosophical Ecclesiology is very highly recommended reading for both the clergy and the laity with an interest in contemporary ecclesiastical applications of Christian historic doctrines.
