Church history reads like a wartime romance tragedy with the promise of a happy ending, writ large. The New Testament calls the church "Christ's Bride." "One Faith-Many Transitions: Worldviews in Church History" snapshots the pathos, defeat, and victory of the heroes and villains in historic Christianity. More importantly, "One Faith" maps many of the worldviews the church encountered, during its growth. It shows how the Holy Spirit redemptively used parts of these worldviews to give Christians tools they might not have otherwise had, but also shows how other parts distorted the Faith, when taken into the church without adequate analysis. "One Faith-Many Transitions" also models how God's Spirit brings churches back into living relationship with Him. It explores why Christians of the past and present thought and acted as they did. Written in a manner that takes the Bible seriously as a message system from the living God; "One Faith" analyzes historic ideas, people, and events from a thoughtful worldview that takes the doctrines of historic Christianity as relevant to the real world today. "One Faith-Many Transitions" is a historical worldview apologetic for a Christianity that believes the Bible really is the word of God, the best guide to the human condition; and the highest standard for church authority today.
