Editorial Background to the Series
In re-publishing ‘Blessing the Church?’ (Hill et al, Eagle Publishing, 1995), we have edited each chapter to make sense for online publication, and have updated references to dates where appropriate. Apart from that, nothing has been changed.
Since the book is now more than 20 years old, it may seem an odd decision to re-publish it. Our reasons are as follows:
- The issues it covers have by no means gone away – and we feel that many encountering them now for the first time would benefit from some background understanding of their roots.
- The biblical analysis contained within the book is, we consider, timeless.
- We hope to lay a firm foundation for any future critiques on similar issues which we may choose to publish or recommend via Prophecy Today UK.
- The book is no longer available widely in print.
Many thanks to readers who have got in touch with us with queries in these respects.
