Aldo B. Martin Presents: The Reclamation

Dr. Jerry Jones

Aldo B. Martin Season 3 Episode 35

Dr. Jerry Jones joined the Boston Movement in 1984.  Prior to joining the Boston Movement, Dr. Jones was a member of the traditional Church of Christ.  As a member of the Boston Movement, he was a bible talk leader, evangelist and was finally appointed as an elder with the Boston Church of Christ.   The leadership of the Boston Movement were more than happy to have Dr. Jones as a member of the organization as he "would bring tremendous credibility to the Movement" because "up to that time he was the Head of the Bible Department at Harding University." 

Dr. Jones left the organization in 1986 because of his concerns with what the Movement taught.  He then wrote and published a book called "What Does the Boston Movement Teach?"  where he uses primary sources to demonstrate what the title of the book indicates.  Dr. Jones then went on to publish 2 more volumes of this book.  

Dr. Jones shares with us his recollection of his time spent with the group and the reasons why he left, and his motivation for writing his books.
