Honest Faith for Our Time

Theology

“"J. Harold Ellens is the scholar to ponder questions perplexing Christians: Did Christianity devolve from its Jewish origins to the Greek-oriented Councils [no Jews were present] that began in Nicea (325)? If the Holy Spirit was guiding the decisions of the Greeks then why was Arius (256-336) honored and then dishonored? Was Sir Isaac Newton correct to claim that Christianity lost its way in the fourth century? Is the Apostles' Creed pastorally therapeutic? Did Creeds replace Bible? Are we honestly interested in the truth about our Bible, Creeds, and Church? Superbly conceived and written; highly recommended.”
