I just finished an interesting book by Frank Viola and George Barna entitled “Pagan Christianity?”. If you are happy with the way we “do church” these days, this is probably not a book that you will enjoy reading. However, if you are like me and feel that we tend to have too many traditions and rituals in the Church today, then you will likely find it a very thought-provoking read.
I did not entirely agree with the theme of this book, but it is definitely something that will make you think about how we could be working better to impact the world around us while working to become better disciples of Christ, as well. The book offers a great insight into how our churches today have gotten a great deal of their function and worship styles from sources other than those found in the Bible. If nothing else you might get a pretty good little history lesson. Check it out.
