In The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples, Scottish Presbyterian James Durham helps us see how God uses discipline to purify the Church and restore His children, answering common questions about its nature and practice. Updated into modern English, Durham’s classic treatment on the importance of church discipline can now help a new generation embrace this God-ordained practice.
