Along with a renewed emphasis on the authority of Scripture among many evangelical Christians, there has been an increase in secularism and a decline in denominational loyalties, leading to widespread questioning of traditions today. Now is the time and opportunity to redefine the church in a healthier and more biblical way. Nine Marks Ministries (NMM) seeks to change the way pastors and leaders understand the local church. They wish to refocus attention on the value of a healthy congregation. They hope to reconnect careful biblical theology with church practices.
"I want to hear from God about His church. I turn with hope and confidence to Mark Dever and his radical commitment to the Bible. Few authors today have pondered more frequently or deeply on the subject of a biblical and healthy church." John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church
