On the other hand, Churches of Christ themselves are engaging more and more in the kind of healthy theological rethinking that this book called for back in 1990. Many congregations are shedding the sectarian or exclusivist outlook, gaining new appreciation for their heritage, refocusing on the central doctrines of the faith, and entering into serious dialogue about carrying out the mission of God in this new time...Perhaps this new edition can continue to provide stimulus and guidance as the adventure continues. Toward that end, this edition contains a new chapter, "Last(ing) Things," that seeks to show the close relationship between eschatology and discipleship, between one's view of the coming kingdom of God and the cruciform life." -from Allen's Preface to the revised edition

"This book offers a refreshingly candid look from the inside at the Church of Christ tradition, along with a winning perspective for renewing Christian life. In the best sense of the terms, the analysis is edifying and the prescription is evangelical. Change a few of the names and make adjustments for regional accents, and both analysis and prescription become useful for other traditions that may also be caught between the memory of spiritual vitality and the practice of lethargic traditionalism." -Mark Noll, Wheaton College, in Perspectives
