Product Description: Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries? This volume reveals the startling truth: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is not rooted in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence in the first-ever book to document the full story of modern Christian church practices.

The premise of this book is itself silly. There has never been anything like a pure, "non-Pagan" Christianity. The Israel of Jesus' day was under Roman occupation. Paul himself was a Roman citizen, trained in ... Read More
