Title: Puzzling?
Review: This is a pretty shameless attempt by the authors to justify their own agenda by trying to denegrate the practices of other churches. Most Christians are aware that the Catholic and Orthodox Churches adapted a lot of early pagan holidays and holiday rituals to help the people transition from pagan religions to christianity. They advise rejecting any such practices in the Church today.They base their own ideas of what our church services should be on a very peculiar interpretation of a few verses in 1 Corinthians, chapter 14. And yet this practice, they call "proof texting", which they roundly condemn in others, is exactly what the authors are doing themselves. Taking a few verses from the New Testament out of context, and fleshing out their entire theology. Most reader's will see this for what it is, and attach very little weight to it.
Is the review positive or negative?
