Jon Zens Building Up the Body: One Man or One Another?
Searching Together 1981 0739-2281 paperback new 40pp.
"Building Up the Body: One Man or One Another?" develops the New Testament practice of body life by examining key N.T. texts, and interacting primarily with the Puritan tradition, which focused on the one gift of "the Minister." The conclusion is that there is no NT basis for our fixation on "The Pastor" to the neglect of the 58 one-anothers in the NT. Also included is Judy Schindler's excellent article, "The Rise of One-Bishop-Rule in the Early Church: A Study of the Writings of Ignatius & Cyprian," and Jon Zens' "Several Proposition Set Forth as Encouragements to Practice Christian Love in Local Churches," plus a review of Robert Banks' "Paul's Idea of Community."

Also included is Jon Zens' "An Appraisal of the Charismatic Movement," and Freeman Barton's review of Walt Chantry's book, "No More Gifts?"

Searching Together May, 1982 paperback new 22pp.

Jon Zens A Church Building Every 1/2 Mile: what Makes American Christianity Tick?
Ekklesia Press 2008 097652225X 1st paperback New 128pp.
When former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, brashly dismissed organized religion as a sham, it scandalized the religious establishment. Jon Zens present four crisp essays in this volume that unravel the reoccurring components of American Christianity. They show that condemnations like Ventura's are reasonably justified. Jon contrasts the reality of modern the modern religious community with the vision set out in the New Testament. Much of what calls itself church is unaligned with the teachings of Christ. Jon, a 30-year veteran of simpler approaches to church, gives an honest, refreshing challenge to revisit the concepts and practices commonly thought of as "church." "When people ask me why the church seems powerless, I often note that we have not yet tried to answer Jesus' high priestly prayer to be one. We allow petty differences and theological trivialities to divide us. Jon brings us back to where Jesus wants us to be as in the early church. This book is must reading." -- Cal Thomas, Syndicated Columnist/Fox News Contributor, co-author of 'Blinded by Might'
