John Owen (1616-1683) was a pastor as well as a theologian and therefore this is a most practical manual of church fellowship. It was intended to be read by individuals with self-examination, meditation and prayer, but it would also be very suitable for group Bible study. This edition is enhanced by a modernized text and the addition of questions for group discussion.

Duties of Christian Fellowship: A Manual For Church Members (Puritan Paperbacks Series)$16.99
Short and to the point. \\n\\nThis is basically an outline with brief explanations. \\nI'm sure if Owen wanted to, he could have expanded each point and written a lengthy book but it seems this was not his aim. He wanted to keep it brief, direct and applied immediately. \\n\\nThe Banner edition includes some reflection questions added which would be helpful for discussions among church members. \\n\\nAs was Puritan style, he is quite strong using imperatives which I feel like many Christians today would feel unwarranted or offensive. But this is one of the points he makes, that we need to obey and pray for those put over us by God, and then care for each other. \\nI feel like in the current age, the first section regarding our duties towards our pastor is very much neglected, while we do a little bit better in the second section regard our duties towards other church members. \\nPossibly, the one take away for me, is to pray daily for the Pastor, and for the preaching of the word.
