Finding the Roots of Christianity

History & Biography

“Luke Painter's Finding the Roots of Christianity: A Spiritual and Historical Journey is a compelling exegesis on the origins of belief. His approach is sensitive to the diversity of interpretations that flow from the text of the Christian Bible. As a college professor who teaches about belief (religious and otherwise), I find his analysis eminently teachable and would be pleased to use it alongside the Old and New Testaments and other foundational texts in my school's first-year student seminar.”
