Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A short book, first published by the Inter-Varsity Fellowship in 1962, in which Lloyd-Jones expounds John 17 and Ephesians 4 to argue that the unity the New Testament describes rests on shared truth and spiritual life, not on organisation. It was written amid the ecumenical movement of the period and states the convictions he later pressed at the 1966 National Assembly of Evangelicals.
