We're Different Because

Each generation quickly forgets the mistakes of the last, and history shows the pendulum of error swinging back.

We're Different Because is a 13-lesson workbook by Carl McMurray on Bible authority, church history, and the issues that have divided churches of Christ.

How This Study Helps

Young Christians often don't know why their congregation does things the way it does, or how past controversies shaped the churches around them. Without that knowledge, the same mistakes repeat.

This study explains Bible authority, traces the relevant church history, and examines the issues that have divided churches of Christ. Each chapter includes discussion, charts, and questions. It belongs on the must-do list of every serious Bible student.

Thirteen chapters in a 74-page, 6 x 9 coil-bound workbook. A Teacher Manual (PDF) and a workbook PDF are available.

Who It's For

Teen, college, and adult Bible classes, and new Christians who want to understand why churches of Christ are different.
