Reviews
"""By searching anew the biblical, historical, and theological bases of the church, Del Birkey has assembled a provocative and persuasive case for restructuring contemporary congregational life. He communicates well his dedication to structures which liberate all believers. The House Church is a thoughtful, scholarly, and practical book for those seeking authentic Christianity. The author combines an Anabaptist foundation with an evangelical commitment to produce a reform program that will be helpful to Christians from many denominations."" --Donald F. Durnbaugh, PhD, Professor of Church History, Bethany Theological Seminary ""Del Birkey carefully traces the origin of the house church through Scripture and then shows precisely how this model can revitalize today's church. For the skeptics, the thesis has a solid foundation in theology and sociology and reflects sound principles of anthropology and communication theory. The house church has exciting potential for renewal of the modern church."" --Dean E. Arnold, PhD, Professor of Anthropology, Wheaton College"
