Very informative

I liked this book and although I may not have agreed entirely with every point I do think it is eye opening and facilitates further conversation and change among “the church” system as we know it today

Fantastic Book! Just one issue...

This book was fantastic in the fact that it helps one to not only understand what the writers of the New Testament are truly saying in regards to the church, but also to stretch the mind to rethink what the church is and how the church should relate to one another and the governmental structure.

The one issue I have with the book is how the author continually compares or likens the idea of how individuals in the church relate to one another to the relationship of the different persons of the so-called Triune God. This idea seems to be in every part of the book. I would encourage the author to review the initial beginnings of the idea of a triune God (Trinity) in the same manner he studied the beginnings of the pagan methods of worship introduced to the early church that he wrote about in his book “Pagan Christianity.”

Other than that criticism, the book was fantastic!

this is the most eye opening book I've ever read.

Anyone who can agree that the church does not resemble the church of God should take a look at this work.

This is what my heart has been wanting for years

I've grown more and more restless with how church is done over the years. This book showed me why and what church was meant to be

Jesus is the head

it's amazing how when the Greek words get translated properly there is a new meaning and purpose for the "church". Good read if you are questioning the routine of Sunday morning "church" services or reading the Bible for yourself and finding those services lacking in the power and purposes of God.

Awakening

Why did you wait so long to write this book? It is a wake up call for a lot of our brothers and sisters to start reading their Bible and worshipping the Lord like we suppose too

Mostly Good

Good narration and very easy to follow. Most of this book, probably 80-90%, I can fully agree with. However I found it very anti-athority. I do understand, in-context of why, just that it seemed to be a very dominant theme throughout the book. Mostly good teaching with excellent scripture references. And relistic standing arguments of why we are doing modern church wrong.

BACK TO SQUARE ONE

Having started with Pagan Christianity, I wanted to read this. I am not disappointed just a bit overwhelmed by the overall message to us as the Body of Christ,
I now want the hard copy so I can study and apply.
