Description
A new culture has inexorably been replacing the old, largely through the denigration of the transcendent by the media and a popular presupposition that rational people do not take religion seriously. This book provides an examination of how the church should function using "eccesiastical tough love."
The author, recognizing the importance of biblical principles and guidance, has immersed himself in the patristic writings, mining them for their timeless gems. He concludes that "the tested language of the ancient church speaks in its own unrelenting ways to modern minds struggling with the follies and limits of modern consciousness."
Discusses judgment and discipline, communion discipline, forgiveness and reconciliation, "tough love" ministry, admonition, lay and clergy discipline and corrective love.
