The Oxford Group Movement: Is it Scriptural?
Overview
The New Testament church is often held as a model for how the church should function and grow. Frank Buchman’s attempts in 1908 to return to the teachings of the New Testament church gained a wide following in America and were popularized when the group he founded migrated to Oxford. They became known as the Oxford Group, and alternatively as First Century Christianity. But were their motivations scriptural? Ironside peers behind the mask of their good intentions, and implores them to confess their sins before God.
