A Handbook for Today’s Disciples in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

By D. Duane Cummins

A revised edition of a Disciples classic, A Handbook for Today’s Disciples (Fifth Edition) is an overview of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as the denomination approaches 2020. This handbook provides concise information on Disciples history, thought, worship, mission, and structure – a valuable resource for lifelong Disciples, newcomers to the Disciples’ ministry of Christian unity, and those who simply want to know more about the church. Cummins, a noted Disciples historian, illustrates his summaries of Disciples traditions with excerpts from Disciples documents and scripture, bringing a major American religious movement into sharp focus. The fifth edition includes the denomination’s history and changes through 2017, including an examination of the Disciples’ changing ethnic diversity in the context of contemporary North America.
