Searching for the Pattern

In Searching for the Pattern, John Mark Hicks shares his personal journey in biblical hermeneutics, moving from a “blueprint” approach to a more theological understanding rooted in the biblical drama of God's redemptive plan. The book offers an alternative perspective that emphasizes the story of Jesus as central to Christian identity and obedience, aiming to foster unity within the Churches of Christ. Hicks's approach respects biblical authority while inviting readers to see Scripture as a cohesive narrative into which they are called.
