Review: BEHOLD THE LAMB by Peter Hoover

In this book Hoover looks at the rise and fall of the Moravian Church and of its most famous member, Could Nicholas von Zinzendorf.

The Moravians were well-known both for their tolerance and their missionary zeal. All was not well in the movement, though, and the decline in the Count was matched by a decline in the denomination as well. As he grew older, the Count's focus on the wounds of Christ became an obsession, and within a few generations the Moravia Church had lost all that had made it distinctive.

This book is a cautionary tale, showing what can happen when a group of people take their eyes off of Christ. I recommend it.
