In 1977 SCP published an 80-page booklet called "The God-Men: Witness Lee and the Local Church". An expanded edition was published first in 1979 in German as "Die Sonderlehre" by Schwengeler-Verlag and then in 1981 in English as "The God-Men: An Inquiry into Witness Lee and the Local Church" by InterVarsity Press. In the book SCP alleged that the Local Church was both theologically and sociologically deviant. The dispute between the Local Church and SCP escalated into a lawsuit for defamation that was filed in Oakland, California in December 1980 and known as Lee et al v. Duddy et al.
