The New Testament Church was established by Jesus almost 2,000 years ago, when He sent the Holy Spirit to His followers at Pentecost. The Church started small, but grew rapidly in the Middle East - firstly among the Jews, but it quickly spread into the Gentile nations around the area.It was an ideal area to start the Church, being the crossroads for trade and traffic from the north and east, going through to Egypt, and vice versa.After almost 2,000 years of significant persecution, the Church appears to be not just surviving, but growing throughout the world. But, is this the reality?To what extent does the New Testament Church of today reflect its roots? And to what extent does the Church stand for Christ, just as it did when the Church was first founded 2,000 years ago? Most importantly, to what extent has the attitudes, standards, and sins of the world infiltrated the Church of today?Is the Church different enough from the world, for the unbelieving people to see Christ in us? In this remarkable new book, author Rodney Hutcheon explores where the New Testament Church fits into today's society. Let's see if we are disappointed with the answer!
