The culture, always deeply spiritual, has and, in more recent centuries, become Christian. Yet behind the Gospel singing of these "happiest people on earth" lies a puzzle: Is God for us?

With a stylistic approach nearer John Prine than John Donne, the author uses colloquial speech, dialect, storytelling, and humor to consider humankind's continuous pilgrimage into self and the spirit.

Here we follow the story of Jesus' earliest followers from their call to be his witnesses "to the ends of the earth," through their initial days of concord and numerical success, to the challenges they faced as unfamiliar newcomers entered the scene. We discover the leadership changes that...

This book is an adjunct to the book of Luke. It readily portrays the continuing work of the Apostles and all Christians who are ambassadors of/for the Lord Jesus.
It is extraordinarily noteworthy how well Jesus' name is known in our world today. He is the very Son of God and yet, He is almost totally neglected by humankind. Mankind is losing out on some very important intelligence and knowledge. Individuals are losing even more, because it is only...

A revised, extended and enriched edition of John Henson's most provocative, most controversial, most subversive book. From the very beginning, Christians have deviated by word and deed from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Why, and is there something that we can learn about the Early Church by examining those deviations?
