In addition to the characteristic concerns for doctrine and devotion among the Old School, how to develop discernment and when to administer church discipline were defining questions for the Old School. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey concludes his survey of the paramount concerns of the Old School: doctrine, devotion, discernment, and discipline. He also introduces the American church’s movement away from dominance in society to a marked decline, even to the point that society has turned against Christianity.
