The Church, the Falling Away, and the Restoration

Author: J. W. Shepherd

Description:

"The Church, the Falling Away, and the Restoration" by J. W. Shepherd is an in-depth exploration of the history and evolution of the Christian Church. Shepherd examines the early church's foundations, the subsequent periods of decline or "falling away" from its original teachings and practices, and the movements aimed at restoring the church to its initial purity and purpose. The book provides a historical analysis of key events and figures that influenced these changes and highlights the efforts of various restoration movements to return to New Testament Christianity. Shepherd's work is both a historical study and a theological discussion, offering insights into the challenges and successes in the journey of the Christian faith.
