<note>&#34;The God-Men offers a thorough and fair study of the Local Church movement, headed by Witness Lee. It puts a searchlight on those controversial points of departure from classical Christianity found in the movement. This sober study is a helpful tool for those trying to sort out the reigning confusion found in new religious movements today.&#34;

-R. C. Sproul, President, Ligonier Valley Study Center

&#34;The Local Church movement offers a tragic

illustration of how easy it is for a relatively unstructured Christian group to move away from evangelical orthodoxy under the influence of a single charismatic leader.

The story of the Local Church has repeated itself a thousand times in the history of the church: an individual or group seems to recover some biblical truth and naively supposes that first-century Christianity has been restored. Within a generation it is found to replicate one or another first-century heresy.

&#34;The God-Men underlines the importance of good theology and a knowledge of the history of Christianity. In both its critique of the Local Church and its stand in favor of authentic religious experience, the authors have provided a valuable service to the Christian community.&#34;
