9781930470057 English 1930470053 Does the Bible hold the truth and nothing but the truth? Did the resurrection really happen? How much of Christianity is based on Paul’s teachings? Is Satan real? Are sinners doomed to the “lake of fire?†Does the Antichrist have a name? Throughout this book, Christians are challenged to carefully examine what they believe. The author has done extensive research on several Christian doctrines and discovered that much of what is taught in Sunday school and church is either based on tradition – or isn’t addressed at all. Popular beliefs about the Bible, Paul, Satan, Hell, Armageddon, even about Jesus, are examined through the lens of history, with surprising results. Some readers may find the contents profoundly disturbing, but it is a book you will not be able to put down until the very end., For many believers, the preferred approach to Christianity is passive; that is, they would prefer to let church leaders give them answers about their faith rather than engaging in an active pursuit on their own. As a result, traditional doctrines and beliefs are generally accepted without question. This was the path the author followed for over fifteen years. Surprisingly, it wasn't until she left Christianity that she began an in-depth study of the Christian faith. "Things I Never Learned in Sunday School" is the result of her efforts. With nearly 200 reference notes and numerous scripture quotations, she examines the infallibility of the bible, the resurrection, the existence of Satan, the fate of the unsaved, the Antichrist, the end times, even the identity of God. She also provides extensive insight into why Paul played such an important role in establishing Christianity. The final conclusion? Many doctrines taught in Sunday School and church often have little basis in fact - and several are not addressed at all. Some readers may find the contents of this book unsettling. On the other hand, when read with an open and inquiring mind, it could very well result in a spiritual awakening.
