    Paul the Apostle gave us not only some of the most profound pieces of early Christian theological reflection, but also some of the finest, poignant writing in history. Throughout Paul of Tarsus’ life, he has been able to contribute to the development of Christianity through his heritage, his personal encounter with Jesus and his life as a missionary for Jesus. AD 33, before Paul converted to Christ, Christianity grew only amongst disaffected Jews. A Jew himself, Paul spoke Greek and inherited Roman citizenship. This enabled him to put Jewish ideas into the language of the Gentiles, and because of his efforts, through his missionary journey’s throughout Asia, Macedonia and the West, Christianity grew from its beginnings in Israel to the rest of the Roman Empire.…

    Stark argues that, contrary to popular belief, Christianity was a movement not of the lower classes and the oppressed, but of the upper and middle classes in the cities and of Hellenized Jews. Stark also discusses the exponential nature of the growth of religion, and why therefore the speed of the rise of Christianity is not as miraculous as might thought to be. He argues that, contrary to commonly-held belief, the Christian mission to Judaism was successful, and outlasted both the destruction of Jerusalem and the Bar Kochba rebellion; that two hardly-noted plagues in 165 and 251 A.D. were keystones in Christian growth and that the conversion of women to Christianity was likewise a major factor in the hold that the disciples of Christ took into the solid rock face of the pagan Roman Empire.…

    Short Essay on Angelology and Satanology This truth must first be established, Satan and God are not equal. God is omniscience, omnipresent, and omnipotent; Satan is not. The Bible is very clear that Satan is a created being, by God the creator. In the book of Ezekiel 28:15, Satan is described as a lesser being, “from the day that thou wast created,” showing his inequality with God. Religious Dualism is defined as, “two mutually hostile forces or beings in the world, the one being the source of all good, the other the source of all evil” (Elwell, 2001, p. 357). In more moderate circles it is referred to as “light and darkness”, or in the vein of Chinese thought, “yin and yang.” These all ascribe to the concept that, “the universe becomes the battleground for these two opposing forces” (Elwell, 2001, p. 357). This system of belief has no support or basis for its claims. The Bible, as our final authority on all things pertaining to God and Satan, shows us a very different view. Let’s address the claim that God and Satan are equals for a moment. Revelation 20:10 states that Satan will be judged by God, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” To add more clarity, we see what God does to Satan during the judgment, “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and…

    In the 2,000 years of history since Jesus, the relationship between Christianity and the ancient faith in which it is rooted has often been strained. Christians have criticized Jews for rejecting Jesus as their messiah, and Jews have criticized Christians for corrupting the concept of one God and following a false messiah. The New Testament reports that Jews were the first to persecute Christians, and after Christians became the more powerful group, they frequently persecuted Jews.…

    The Next Christendom

    This ten chapter book can be divided into two major sections. In the first five chapters, Jenkins traces the historical growth of Christianity in the global South to its current relative boom status. Jenkins provides a short history of Western Christianity, noting that it found its Western foundation during the post-Constantine days of Rome, and soon after fused with European culture. Jenkins does give a nod to the fact that, in the beginning, Christianity was a new faith that was a blend of both Jewish and Greek expressions. The gospel spread throughout the Roman provinces east to China and India, north and west to Europe, and south to Africa. Although there was a multi-continent spread of Christianity, Jenkins points out that “Christianity for its first thousand years was stronger in Asia and North Africa than in Europe and only after about 1400 did Europe (and Europeanized North America) decisively become the new Christian heartland.”[3]…
