Most sane (and humble) evangelicals acknowledge that the church they attend is far from perfect, but they do have a heartfelt desire to obey Scripture.
The solemn charge of this book, by a member of the Chigwell Christian Fellowship, is that most of us are doing church ‘in a totally unbiblical way’. The early church fathers have taken us away from the teaching of the apostles and caused us to ‘go directly against what is taught in the pages of God’s Word’. This charge is not directed, as we might expect, just at ritualistic or way-out and wacky ‘churches’, but also at gospel-centred fellowships.
