In this struggle the primary issue has, as a matter of fact, <I>not</I> been discipleship to Christ and transformation of soul that expresses itself in pervasive, routine obedience to his &ldquo;all that I have commanded you.&rdquo; Instead, both sides of the controversy have focused almost entirely upon what is to be explicitly asserted or rejected as essential Christian doctrine. In the process of battles over views of Christ the Savior, <I>Christ the Teacher was lost on all sides</I>.");
