Going To Church In The First Century by Robert Banks
A brief, narrative reconstruction of a first-century house-church gathering, it portrays believers meeting in a home for a shared meal and the Lord’s Supper, with open participation in prayer, song, teaching, prophecy, and discussion focused on mutual edification. Emphasizing relational bonds, care for the poor, and flexible, non-hierarchical leadership, it highlights how everyday life and community rhythms framed their worship. The account contrasts these intimate, participatory practices with later institutional patterns, inviting reflection on how early models might inform contemporary church life.
