Set Apart: The Nature and Importance of Biblical Separation

Biblical separation is a doctrine that has long been taught and practiced by many but is also widely ignored and frequently misunderstood by Christians. Church historian Mark Sidwell's Set Apart: The Nature and Importance of Biblical Separation is an updated second edition of his earlier book, The Dividing Line, offering readers an unashamedly Fundamentalist viewpoint on what separation is, how it is rooted in the Scripture, and why it is so important to a balanced Christian life.

The Christian doctrine of sanctification means being "set apart" by Christ, and that same doctrine of sanctification is an essential motive in practicing biblical separation. True biblical separation is manifested in love-a love for God that rejects worldly values, a love for the church that protects its sheep from false teachers, and a love for fellow Christians that is willing to endure hardness in order to allow others to recognize truth. Set Apart provides perspective on the confused state of modern Christianity, explaining how to respond to various interpretations of the gospel.
