Complete List

In the 1970′s, members of the local churches wrote and published a number of booklets in response to inaccurate or uninformed criticisms of the teaching of Witness Lee and of the practice of the local churches. Many of these booklets are out of print and so are made available here to the Christian public. Some responded to criticisms from the Christian Research Institute, which has since withdrawn those criticisms and reversed its earlier conclusions (see “A Brief History of the Relationship between the Local Churches and the Christian Research Institute“). The text of the booklets responding to CRI’s criticisms are included here for the historical record, for the important points of truth they address, and because CRI’s criticisms, although withdrawn, are still repeated by others. A topical index will assist you in finding discussion of particular areas of Biblical truth. The following is a list of the booklets published at that time:
