This outline links to posts that contain my 2020 revision of the chapters I wrote in Ian Johnson & Lauston Stephens, Our Oneness in Christ (Baltimore: Publish America 2006) (only the Amazon Kindle edition is still available). Chapters 2, 7 through 10, 15 and 16 were written by Mr. Stephens, and were important to the overall meaning of the book. However, they are his work, and I will not be attempting to rewrite them on this blog. I would invite the reader to find them in the Kindle book—or in a now quite rare print copy.
This is a preliminary outline of the entire contents I would like, God willing, to write about. I will gradually be adding links to the nested subject outlines to which the links on this overall outline page point. I will then fill in links found in the nested outlines as pages are completed. (Many pages have already been completed, but finishing the whole outline will likely take a years!) Be watching for any new material that interests you.
