Cell Groups and House Churches: What History Teaches Us

By Peter Bunton

Book Overview

Are small groups new? This book provides a historical backdrop to much of what is happening in cell groups and house churches today. It points us to valuable lessons which the modern church can learn from history.Examine how cell groups and house churches developed in the centuries since the Reformation. Explore the writings and practices of the Reformers such as Luther and Bucer, as well as the Pietists, Moravians, Methodists and others. These writings show clearly that when God moves in restoring His church, there is a renewal of small groups to aid discipleship and growth into holiness, often resulting in a greater concern for reaching the lost.

VERY HELPFUL ESPECIALLY IN THE HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF SMALL GROUPS

I found the book systematized, organized and specially useful in the aspects of the history of small or cell groups of churches. The involvement of Martin Luther and his successors, the leaders of the Church of England in small groups for the development and affirmation of their faith and growth of their parishes are well documented in this book. it should serve as a solid foundation for reading on small group dynamics especially in church cell growth.
