Warner Press, Inc., is pleased to release a mini-encyclopedia of Church of God beliefs and practices compiled by Barry L. Callen. Following Our Lord is a ready reference for pastors and lay leaders who have questions about a variety of issues. Topics range from traditional doctrinal subjects, such as church membership and the ordinances, to behavioral issues, such as the use of tobacco and alcohol, a Christian’s manner of dress, and sexual orientation.

“This will be a helpful resource for pastors to use in new members’ classes, as well as a handbook for those pursuing ordination in the Church of God,” says Robert Moss, chairman of the General Assembly.

Each section contains classic quotes from Church of God writers, comments about any changes in the movement’s position on the subject, and questions that invite the reader to reflect on the subject and discuss it with other believers. Following Our Lord grew out of Callen’s teaching research and a series of discussions with Church of God pastors and lay leaders from across the United States.

The 216-page Following Our Lord paperback retails for $14.95 and is available online at Warner Press, or by calling toll-free at 1-800-741-7721. Outside the USA, call 1-765-644-7721.

Callen retired last year from the faculty of Anderson University. He currently serves as a special assistant to the general director of Church of God Ministries, Inc., and as editor of Anderson University Press and Wesleyan Theological Journal.

Following Our Lord was partially funded by gifts from individuals and state associations of the Church of God. Warner Press, Inc., is a subsidiary of Church of God Ministries, Inc.
