Lewis Benson (1906–1986)

This book challenges what has traditionally pinturas about sin, guilt, and salvation. It challenges the very nature of modern church organization with a profoundly simple vision of what the church was meant to be: a fellowship in which men and women have spiritual equality And minister to one another, a fellowship that fosters and protects creation rather than preying on it. You will discover a new understanding of what it means to worship, pray, sing, and fellowship in Christ--a faith is show more fresh today as it was 2000 years ago among the apostles, a faith in which Christ Jesus is alive, present, and victorious against evil--not gone away to come again some other day. show less
