The Way of Life is an introductory textbook on Bible teaching. It is intended to cover the first principles of Bible teaching and discipleship in Christ. The book is primarily intended for use in small groups such as older Sunday School classes (ages 16 and over) and Bible reading groups.
Why another book?
There are currently a number of Christadelphian books covering our basic doctrines and one or two books covering some of the principles of a life in Christ. But none which cover both. I think it is a mistake to separate the two because it encourages the idea that people need to know the truth before baptism, but living it is something they just work out for themselves afterwards. We ought to teach living the Way just as much as believing the Truth. Also, it was felt that there was a need for a simpler presentation of Bible teaching in an attractive format with class activities, discussion questions, homework, etc.
Who wrote it?
The writing team consisted of eight people. Rob Hyndman was editor and had ultimate responsibility for the contents and production of the book.
What is in the book?
The book contains 66 short chapters of about 4-6 pages each. Each chapter is intended to be covered in one class, although some of them may take longer. I imagine most users will choose to omit some chapters also, depending on circumstances.
