This book is extremly well writen, it gives a great picture of the "restoration movement" in the uk and to a lesser degree all of its influences and how it has influenced other movements.
Walker seals you in and informs of what was going on at the time and still gives personal stories of daily life in the kingdom. He hooks you in by showing the men behind the movement. Its journalistic style is refreshing and contaminating. Most books after this one dont live up to this standard. From the personal touches of indivduals to political spheres to historical influences this book has it all.
From a (young) christian ponit of view it explains alot about the postion of my own church and how this movement has impacted the wider body today. Its teaching has morphed or decayed (depeneding on your opinion) and has since been taken into a different tide, but it was great to be informed of it in a very unbias neutral way.
If you want some bias info of restoration teaching "Restoring the Apostolic edge" by Bryn Jones is provoking.

When you read this book it is as if Walker has a grudge against those he writes about.
It is a biased book - against restorationism, the later published Andrew Kay - Apostolic Networks gives a much more balanced view of the movement, even if he does draw similar conclusions.

The book to own on the House Church Movement in the UK
20 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
Andrew Walker's "Restoring the Kingdom" is a superb survey of the history and varieties of Restorationist thought that has seen the movement splinter into two wings (that Walker labels R1 and R2)with R1 being more of an organised movement/denomination and R2 a looser network of churhces. Overall this book, which is marked by an detached appreciation of (parts of)the movement is an excellent academic introduction to a movement that is still an important factor in the contemporary Christian Landscape. Definitely recommended.
