Ayo’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices

Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices by Frank Viola

1 highlight

the practices of the institutional church (the clergy/laity system, salaried pastors, sacred buildings, the order of worship, etc.) God-approved developments to the church that the New Testament envisions?

Great information. Surprising practices that are not biblical at all.
