― R. Albert Mohler Jr. , President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? Many people believe that the church’s message is centered around grace, and discipline seems contrary to this message. In this booklet, Jonathan Leeman presents biblical answers to questions about the nature and application of church discipline, illustrating how Scripture presents it as loving and necessary for yielding life, health, holiness, and growth in the local church body.

Leeman is one of my go tos on this issue of church discipline. I love how he articulates here situations that call for church discipline. I also appreciate his exegetical work to show how Scripture advises churches on how I in act church discipline. This book is a helpful guide to what many may say is a complex and difficult issue.
