Publisher's Synopsis
In an age characterized by independence, dissonance, and self-assertiveness, how can churches and their members work together in harmonious unity within and across denominations? Here is a Baptist solution. In this seminal volume, Craig Skinner explores critical concerns from fresh and challenging perspectives. The research marshals biblical, theological, and pragmatic evidence to affirm the practicality of maintaining unity and affinity as well as doctrinal centrality and behavioral compatibility in relationships among Christians of diverse beliefs and offers constructive guidelines. "All those concerned about the on-going controversy from any part of the political and theological spectrum will find themselves challenged to new thoughts and possible new courses of action." -Robert Cate, Oklahoma State University.
