IBYC According to Bryen – 1975
In hindsight, David R. Bryen’s thesis is remarkably accurate on many counts. Published in 1975 and titled “An Evaluation of the Theological, Hermeneutical and Psychological Assumptions of the Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts,” this 126-page document was an unprecedented analysis of Gothard’s teachings.
