Mention church discipline and people often react in discomfort. But did you know that Jesus made discipline a test of whether a church meets His approval (Revelation 2-3)? In The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples, James Durham defines the nature of discipline and explains when it is necessary. He identifies practical issues related to administering church discipline and shows how we can know when a case has been satisfactorily resolved. He also explains why simply leaving a church fails to address the issue and even provides practical advice for unfortunate instances when discipline is defective. Now presented in modern English, Durham's classic treatment on the importance of church discipline can be used to edify a new generation.
