“Biblical Christianity” explores the evolution of Christian denominations and their divergence from early church practices, posing the thought-provoking question: “How far have we strayed from the original teachings of Christ and His apostles?” This comprehensive book delves into the roots of Christianity, comparing modern religious practices with those of the first-century church and examining the gradual changes that have occurred over two millennia.

The book is structured in three main sections:
1. An introduction to biblical Christianity and historical context
2. An analysis of major Christian denominations' development
3. Practical guidance for modern Christians seeking to align their faith more closely with biblical teachings

It traces the spread of Christianity through the Roman Empire and beyond, highlighting key historical events that shaped the religion's development. One intriguing aspect is the book's examination of how cultural and political pressures have influenced the adaptation of Christian practices over time.

What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to a potentially contentious topic, seeking to understand the historical and cultural contexts that led to changes in Christian worship and organization. By drawing on biblical texts, early church writings, historical documents, and contemporary scholarship, “Biblical Christianity” offers readers a comprehensive view of Christianity's evolution, challenging them to consider how they might bridge the gap between modern practice and biblical teachings.
