Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The chapters in this volume on the nature of Spiritual Authority are drawn from a series of messages delivered by the great Chinese preacher-teacher, Watchman Nee, during a training period for Christian workers in China in 1948.


From AudioFile

Watchman Nee draws upon biblical stories for this book of teachings about the authority of God over humans. He writes with conviction and without pretense. Michael Kramer gives a straightforward and low-key narration consistent with the message and style of the text. He is an authoritative and articulate guide through the material and avoids becoming pedantic. Kramer maintains a steady pace that is easy to follow and lends itself to thoughtful listening. This volume could form the basis for individual or group Bible study, although the material carries over from disc to disc, making it somewhat cumbersome for use in this way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nee the Elder, June 11, 2000
By Justin Hawley (Rochester, MN.) - See all my reviews
Watchman Nee is, to me, a perfect example of a person with no "Christian" culture. Living in China, when he read the Bible, he had no premeditated bias, and his insights are astounding. This book focuses on God's authority, his delegated authority, and why it is crucially important, for your own sake, to recognize His authority wherever it lies. It is a book for anyone who wants an extremely mature, humbled walk with God in a depth you can only now imagine. On a side note, don't plan on reading this in a weekend. The information contained within is so deep and profound I found myself stopping after every two paragraphs and meditating on what Nee said for a week. Next to the Bible, it is one of my two favorite books, (the other one being Neil T. Anderson's "Victory Over the Darkness"). Jesus' revelation be with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for God's will & direction?, November 7, 2002
By "businessinteriors" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
Spiritual Authority is a fantastic book. The concept of God's authority being manifested in the world was eye opening and spiritually convicting. The book takes portions of the bible and breaks them open to reveal many truths that are not readily apparant, however once discovered, are easily confirmed throughout the Bible. This book should be the basic training manual after the Bible for beginning to know God and how He works in this world. I can't recommend it highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captures New Testament Understanding of Authority, September 16, 2004
By Jesse M. Roland (Barberville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In a culture where authority is "out" and rebellion is "in" this book speaks volumes. Nee clearly presents the idea that everything is about submission to God's authority. He also clearly reveals that submission to God is manifested by our obeying goverment and church leadership. As a result this book will be a challenge to the average American Christian. Good! No doubt some can see this as some kind of extreme form of domination but that has more to do with who is reading it than the author's purpose. It can also be a difficult read as it was taken from notes from students who attended lectures by Nee on this subject. It is also of interest that Nee would eventually be jailed by the communists and die in captivity in China. There is a need to identify at what point a Christian should refuse obedience (not rebel... I read the book) to the governing authorities. Much of Chinese Christianity today is underground. I wonder how Nee would feel about that now? Anyway, this book is one of the most important books I have ever read in terms of my Christain experience.
