Secrets of Our Faith: What the Pastor has been taught, What is preached from the pulpit, And . . . why the difference ! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798664416343)

Much, if not most, of what is preached on Sunday mornings is different than what is taught in reputable Christian colleges and seminaries. This disconnect is fast becoming the leading factor in the continued decline of Christianity in the United States.

This is a reader-friendly book that turns the Sunday school Christianity of most churchgoers on its ear as it systematically combines ancient wisdom with 21st-century Biblical scholarship.

A must-read for anyone concerned with the future of the church.

INSIDE: Using a non-fiction-narrative style of writing, author Barry E Blood Sr. introduces the reader to a group of inquiring college students who are interested in learning (more) about the Christian religion. They are introduced to Professor Andrew Tracy who agrees to instruct them but with the understanding that he will only teach at the Academic level, not the "pabulum that you are used to getting in Sunday School." The students agree, though not quite knowing what Prof. Tracy meant by that statement. What ensues is an infusion of current Biblical and Christian scholarship into the traditional doctrine of the Church.

The reader will be: -

- Enlightened

- Shocked (perhaps)

- Challenged

- Informed (for certain)

Love it or hate it, the reader will have a better understanding of the problems the Church is facing in these times of declining membership and decreased financial support.
