The Apostasy That Wasn’t: Church History Versus Conspiracy Theories (MP3)
- SKU:
- CAE503B
Description
When Catholic and Protestants discuss Scripture, the conversation can degenerate into “my interpretation” versus “your interpretation.”
When such debates fail, it might be time for historical apologetics. A common anti-Catholic narrative posits that early in the life of the Church a “great apostasy” took place.
Authentic Christianity, the narrative goes, was restored only sixteen or more centuries later.
Does this account of an early falling away from New Testament Christianity bear the scrutiny of history, archeology, and sociology?

Early Church, fighting for truth
Excellent; easy read but full of information of which I had been unaware. I got a good, realistic sense of what the church was like then, and it's a lot like that now. Controversy, corruption, and God wins.
