About The Book
The rise of Christianity after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was unlikely, Satin thought that he had eliminated God’s chosen one and Jesus’ apostles were leaderless and in hiding. A lie created by the Jews and paid for with hush money to protect the guilty mad the apostles’ hunted thieves. Besides they were home bodies, fishermen unqualified to found a new worldwide religion. The rise of Christianity in the 1st century AD was impossible by any human understanding. Yet it happened but how could that be possible in the face of Satin’s all-out effort to crush it once and for all. Was this Gods’ greatest miracle, or just another classic battle between GOOD and Evil. If so how and why did God Win? Or does the war between GOOD and Evil continue to this day.
Book Summary
This is a historical look at the first 100 years of the Christian Church on earth. It shows how improbable the rise of Christianity was when looked at from a human perspective. Nothing in the human experience would support this outcome given the circumstances in which it occurred.
Many of us believe that humans are the highest forms of life, that there are no “supernatural” beings. Buy God does exist, but so does Satan. The result is a cosmic battle between good and evil that shapes our daily lives. Free will allows us to sin even after becoming Christians.
Human conflicts are not merely person to person, or nation to nation, but fundamentally a battle between good and evil, between God and Satan. All evil comes from Satan while only good comes from God.
Jesus’ crucifixion apparently eliminated his threat to Satan thought but the resurrection showed how wrong that was. Game on making the first 100 years a critical time in a cosmic battle between good and evil. The first century success of Christianity was a great Christian achievement. This book provides the historical context which demonstrates that God working through humans enabled the birth of Christianity in the 1st century AD.
The eleven remaining leader less disciples were fearful for their lives and ill equipped to spread gospel. Their success was truly an act of God’s, a first battle in the ongoing war between good and evil which continues to this day. An epilog details how Christianity reached maturity in subsequent centuries.
