Dr. Tom Wadsworth's new book: The Assembly
To be published by Wipf and Stock
After years of researching how the first Christians actually gathered, Dr. Tom Wadsworth is putting his findings into his newest book. This work examines two central questions: Have modern churches gotten worship wrong? And how does contemporary practice differ from that of the earliest churches described in Scripture? Return to this page for ongoing updates on Dr. Wadsworth's forthcoming book.
