Negative Positive
Title: Pagan Christianity
Review: A well researched book, if you have good eyes to read the references, and the where-with-all to spend your time checking them. However, a poor conclusion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with "home churches," but unless Frank and George walk to the home church (or ride a mule), in sandles (or barefoot) wear one-piece togas, draw their water from a well, sip a bit of homemade wine during the meal of lentels and fava beans, they are no closer to emulating Jesus, St.Paul, the Corinthians, Galatians, and other early churches than those of us in structured churches. So what is their point? George Barna did his organization a disservice by signing on to this diatribe of modern Christian Church bashing. If the same information was presented in a positive tone, rather than a negative one, it would have been an enjoyable historical read. The authors talk the talk, but it is doubtful that they walk the walk.
Is the review positive or negative?
