How does Christian belief become a lived, ordered community of faith? In A Study in Doctrine and Discipline, Henry W. Wilbur examines that question with measured insight and pastoral urgency. Doctrine guides. Discipline gives depth. Drawing from the currents of 19th century Christianity and the American Protestant tradition, Wilbur offers a clear christian theology study that links what the church teaches with how Christians actually live. This thoughtful church doctrine treatise considers the relationship between confession and character, creed and community, tracing how christian doctrine and discipline shape spiritual life and conduct as well as church governance and practice. In accessible, earnest prose, Wilbur speaks to readers concerned with church polity and order as an expression of the gospel, making this volume valuable to seminary and theology students, clergy and lay leaders, and thoughtful lay readers alike. Long recognised as a religious non-fiction classic within its tradition, it illuminates the inner workings of congregational life and the responsibilities that flow from shared belief, earning a lasting place in any classic theology collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, A Study in Doctrine and Discipline is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
