Von der hinteren Coverseite

Have you ever considered the seriousness of causing someone else to stumble? That is, to hinder someone's spiritual wellbeing.

Does it surprise you that the apostle Paul describes it as evil (Rom. 14:20)?

In The Scandal of Stumbling Blocks, James Durham helps us to consider the matter deeply by defining the nature of stumbling as well as showing its serious consequences. He looks in considerable detail at different kinds of stumbling and identifies the ways that people can stumble and be stumbled. Durham provides practical advice for avoiding and preventing offense.

Now edited in modern English, Durham's classic treatment on considerate Christianity can be used to edify a new generation.
