Book's Origin
- The "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" began as a letter to a church Mark Dever planted.
- It evolved into articles, a booklet, and finally a book through various iterations.
Fourth Edition Changes
- The fourth edition combines two pairs of chapters, resulting in two new chapters on prayer and missions.
- The combined chapters cover conversion/evangelism and sound doctrine/gospel understanding.
Debate and Compromise
- Mark Dever wanted to add new marks, while Jonathan Leeman preferred to keep the original nine.
- The fourth edition reflects a compromise, adding prayer and missions while combining others.
