Ell reviewed Pagan Christianity? by Frank Viola
Review of 'Pagan Christianity?' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A deep and revealing look at the origins of the practices of those that would claim to do Christianity "by the book." The book can be a bit harsh at times, and I wouldn't recommend reading it without reading the sequel, or even better, Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, for an alternative way of pursuing the Christian faith, in addition to tearing down or questioning the existing infrastructure. But this book is an excellent reference to counter the cultural myopia that seems to consume the contemporary Church, and demonstrate the incredible power of tradition, and the danger of following it without examining the reasons.
