A good dose of church history and theology

This would be a great indepth follow up to "Articles of Faith: What Nazarenes Believe and Why." I read this in preparation for the Centennial Celebration of the Church of the Nazarene on October 5, 2008. While "Here We Stand" was published nearly a decade ago, it's just as pertinent if not more so in today's kaleidoscope of religious belief. The issue addressed in the book is exactly where does the Church of the Nazarene fit in the larger scope of Christendom and religious belief. On page 16, Wes Tracy says, "Not every Christian would make a good Nazarene," and having been a Nazarene pastor for 10 years now, I concur. The Nazarene call to complete surrender to Christ followed by the entire sanctification of believers is simply not what all followers of Christ are willing to commit to. An important read that will give you a good dose of church history and theology while helping you better understand what the Church of the Nazarene is all about.
