Item description from seller

Burgundy leatherette with gilt titles. Rubbing wear at the extremities. The gilt lettering has faded but still very legible. Binding is tight and square and the interior is clean. 389 pages with illustrations (charts and drawings). Gift Inscription from Roy & Lorraine Cogdill on the front free endpaper. Edition not stated but assumed First Edition as no other printings are indicated. A very scarce title with inscription from the Cogdills. The Cogdill-Woods Debate, also known as the Birmingham Debate, is a significant religious text documenting a 1957 discussion in Birmingham, Alabama, between Roy E. Cogdill and Guy N. Woods. This debate is widely considered the "standard textbook" on the controversy regarding institutionalism within the Churches of Christ during the mid-20th century. Roy E. Cogdill represented the anti-institutional side, arguing that the church's mission was limited to what was explicitly authorized in Scripture and that churches should not fund human organizations. Guy N. Woods represented the institutional view, arguing that such institutions were scriptural tools or methods used to carry out the church's biblical mandates. While the debate itself took place from November 18–23, 1957, in Birmingham, Alabama, the transcripts were compiled and released in book form the following year. B48.
