In 1934, about five years before the English edition of The Normal Christian Church Life was published, Watchman Nee shared with the brethren in Shanghai several practical points regarding the practice of church life. He spoke especially about authority in the church, the practice of fellowship, the manner of meeting together, and the geographical boundaries of a local assembly. These messages were compiled and published under the title, Assembly Life.
In Church Life , Watchman Nee presents several topics that will be more fully developed in subsequent works on the vision and practice of church life as revealed in the New Testament. Among these works are The Normal Christian Church Life and The Business of the Church . Realizing that God must obtain the church as the corporate, not just individual, expression of Christ, that is, overcoming Christians, Watchman Nee presents a practical fellowship that is designed to properly shepherd believers residing in a specific city or locality into a living, spiritual, and practical dwelling place of God.
