<transcy>If you Bite and Devour one another (Mais si vous vous mordez et vous dévorez les uns les autres) </transcy>
Presentation
Conflict within local churches is an endemic problem that is too often familiar to us. This book is unique in its kind: its author draws up an exhaustive inventory of the biblical passages dealing with the subject of conflict and he draws from them guiding principles allowing the believer to learn to manage different forms of conflict between Christians - whatever be it disputes, Christian freedom and lifestyle issues, denominational issues, or disagreements over major doctrines.
But if you bite and devour each other also points out what behaviors and attitudes to adopt when letting yourself be inspired and led by the Holy Spirit.
The author provides a solid exposition of the Scriptures and also relates concrete situations where Christians who were grappling with very real conflicts were able to resolve them in a way that honors Christ.
