Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up: A New Look at Today’s Evangelical Church in the Light of Early Christianity

Sex and money scandals. An exploding divorce ate. Drug-addicted youths. And an ever-growing worldliness. Today’s church is fighting battles on all fronts. And we seem to be losing these battles to the relentlessly encroaching world. Perhaps the answers to our problems are not in the present, but in the past. Because there was a time when the church was able to stand up to the world. The author takes you on an engrossing journey back to that time back to the beginning of the second century. Here is an inspiring account of what Christians believed and practiced at the close of the age of the apostles and how the church eventually lost the Christianity of that time. But this is not primarily a history book. It’s a fresh, creative look at the problems facing the church today and the solution to those problems. It’s a call for today’s church to return to the simple holiness, unfailing love, and patient cross-bearing of the early Christians. Will The Real Heretics Please Stand Up combines sound scholarship with a free-flowing, readable style designed for contemporary laypersons. If you’re looking for superficial solutions to today’s problems or a restatement of traditional answers, you will need to look elsewhere. This provocative book confronts traditional answers and challenges you to a deeper walk with God the walk of the early Christians.
