About this book
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.―Acts 20:29 In The Scandal of False Teaching, Scottish Covenanter James Durham uncovers the danger of false teaching and the ways that it threatens the body of Christ. In order to equip the church to combat wolves in the fold, Durham helps us identify: • The ways false teaching infiltrates the church • How to identify wayward theology • The responsibilities of church leaders and members Now presented in modern English with discussion questions, Durham’s classic treatment on doctrinal error can be used to edify a new generation. Series Description In 1659, James Durham published The Dying Man’s Testament to the Church of Scotland, or A Treatise concerning Scandal.

Now presented in modern English, Durham’s classic treatment on scandal has been separated into four convenient volumes that can be used to edify a new generation: · The Scandal of Stumbling Blocks: Avoiding Spiritual Harm · The Scandal of Undisciplined Disciples: Making Church Discipline Edifying · The Scandal of False Teaching: Combating the Plague of Error · The Scandal of Church Divisions: Healing the Wounds of Schism
