Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today. For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.

Greear (Gospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

THE OLD AND NEW APOSTLES The movements known as the NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH and the OLD APOSTOLIC CHURCH have no association with any other orthodox Christian organisation - Pentecostal or otherwise.

And what do they believe? the Old and New Apostles: What Do They Believe? compares the teaching ...

In addition, Hall explains why and how the Founders' views are absolutely relevant today.
