Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: This volume makes an outrageous proposal: That most of what we Christians do in our churches has no root in the New Testament. It rather has its origin in pagan culture long after the death of the apostles. As shocking as that sounds, Viola proves his point by documenting every claim he makes. Fully footnoted, 'Pagan Christianity' is the first book ever penned that documents the entire story of our modern church practices.
