Here is a link post to the chapter summaries I have written on Terry Virgo’s Restoration in the Church (1985). This book represents a first statement of the genesis and doctrine of Newfrontiers and is supplemented by Terry’s later books including No Well Worn Paths (2001) and God’s Lavish Grace (2004). For each chapter, I note the title and the central themes being addressed. I have also written an introductory post which explains my reasons for engaging with this text.
- Come and See (the importance of a Biblical conception of what the church is)
- Chosen for Fruit (purpose and security in the life of the believer)
- Right Foundations (confidence in life based on the security of God’s work on you)
- Amazing Grace (true Christianity is ultimate freedom)
- Clothed with Power from on High (the Baptism in the Holy Spirit for empowered living)
- Worship in Spirit and in Truth (open Spirit-led gathered worship)
- Making Friends (real relationships in the church, in the family, in church leadership)
- Flocks and Shepherds (word and spirit ministry, elder-led church and membership)
