Emerging Towards Apostasy: A Documented Effective Analysis of Post-Modern, Evangelical, and Patristic Influences upon Departing Churches of Christ

There's nothing new under the sun, the wise King Solomon once said. How true! Nineteen centuries after the Gnostics drove the early church into apostasy, history is repeating itself. As was the case in the second century, many in the Lord's body in the twenty-first century are trading reason for speculation, conviction for opinion, facts for narrative, rationality for imagination, and linear truth for allegory. Emerging Towards Apostasy takes you back to the distant past discovering what drives and motivates the so-called emerging church among departing churches of Christ in America today. Along the way you will come to discern how apostasy is once again being driven by post-modern philosophy, denominationalism, and an infatuation with the church fathers, the patristics.
