The Compromised Church

The Present Evangelical Crisis

Publication

Notes: Fourteen essays from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals' circle, published the year after the Cambridge Declaration. All fourteen contributors have records here, so the volume shows on each of their pages. Mohler's chapter on church discipline anticipates the 9Marks books held here; Ferguson's and Ryken's on the Puritans point at the Banner and Northampton sets.
