Items related to Restored Christianity
Restored Christianity, co-authored by a Christian counselor and a historian of early Christianity, integrates historical analysis with an in-depth examination of theology toward restoring the foundational beliefs of Christianity.
The authors don't shy away from controversy, challenging both the Church and individual worshippers to reject the "it's not about me" philosophy and embrace a personal relationship with God.
The authors use Paul's letters for their evaluations, based on these documents standing as the earliest known Christian writings. According to the authors, "It became apparent to us that historical knowledge is vital for understanding Christianity, both at the time of its conception as well as today. At the same time, we have witnessed how some of the present-day beliefs espoused by the Church have wounded its members, and given those individuals outside of the Church a negative impression of Christ's character. We wrote this book with the hope of planting a seed that could grow and blossom into an renewed understanding and experiencing of a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ."

Review:
"...an appeal not unlike C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity." -- J. Colin Harris, Ph.D., Mercer University
"Here is a beautifully constructed lesson, from two brilliant people, but the real 'grab you through the heart' message comes from a courageous young man who by simply being - living in faith and relationship, distills the whole book. I cried at some sections - so beautifully done. Just what we need to see the revelation of God in terms that really portray the Divine-human relationship in a way that makes sense, not fragmented or contradictory. Congratulations on a magnificent collaborative effort!" -- Jamie Rasche, M.D., Grace Harbour, Inc.
