"According to Christ"

About this book

“According to Christ” considers the Church not as a fixed earthly system, but as the living presence and expression of Christ, governed from heaven. Through the Church’s foundations, Peter’s experience of the Cross and resurrection, and Stephen’s vision in Acts 7, Austin-Sparks traces the movement from earthly forms to God’s spiritual and universal purpose. The reader is called to seek Christ’s order and follow the Spirit’s way beyond tradition and mere formalism. First published as a continuing editorial in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, Nov-Dec 1958 (Volume 36-6) through May-June 1959 (Volume 37-3).
