The Scandal of False Teaching

Description

In his letter to the churches in Revelation, Jesus rebukes Pergamum for tolerating dangerous errors. In The Scandal of False Teaching, James Durham uncovers the danger of false teaching and the ways that it threatens the body. With care and precision, Durham helps us identify the seriousness of doctrinal errors and understand how to correct them. Ministers and lay church members will learn how to work together to defend Christ’s church against wolves in the flock. Now presented in modern English with discussion questions, Durham’s classic treatment on doctrinal error can be used to edify a new generation.

• Modern English and discussion questions make this work useful for introductory studies
• Teaches Christians how to detect and expunge false teaching
• Equips church leaders with practical tools to defend their sheep from wolves in the flock

In 1659, James Durham published The Dying Man’s Testament to the Church of Scotland, or A Treatise concerning Scandal. The large book was divided into four parts, looking at scandal in general, public scandals in the church, doctrinal scandals, and the scandal of division. Now presented in modern English, Durham’s classic treatment on scandal has been separated into four convenient volumes that can be used to edify a new generation:

• The Scandal of Stumbling Blocks: Avoiding Spiritual Harm
• The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples: Making Church Discipline Edifying
• The Scandal of False Teaching: Combating the Plague of Error
• The Scandal of Church Divisions: Healing the Wounds of Schism
