About the Book

HIS WORD OUR GUIDE takes a panoramic view across the Old Testament, New Testament, and early Christian writings in search of definitive answers regarding early Church organization, doctrine, and practice. The sources speak for themselves with remarkable consistency and clarity, with a minimum of author narrative. Early Christian writings quoted were selected exclusively from the first three centuries of the Church, in the belief that those closest in time to Jesus and the Apostles were in the best position to comprehend His message. The selected references address common misconceptions, and clarify many issues of faith and morals. Particular attention is paid to issues that divide Protestants, Orthodox, Catholics, and Jews. Since we hold so many beliefs in common, a small change in attitude and understanding might help to draw us together. Holy Scripture repeatedly calls us to be united. This work aims to further that cause.
