Religion of the Apostles: Orthodox Christianity in the First Century

De: Stephen De Young

Narrado por: Stephen De Young

Rev. Dr. Stephen De Young, creator of the popular The Whole Counsel of God blog and podcast, traces the lineage of Orthodox Christianity back to the faith and witness of the apostles, which was rooted in a first-century Jewish worldview. The Religion of the Apostles presents the Orthodox Christian Church of today as a continuation of the religious life of the apostles, which in turn was a continuation of the life of the people of God since the beginning of creation.

Overall Successful Defense of Main Thesis

In broad terms, yes, the orthodox Faith is in a direct continuum with the Apostles. The non-sequitur, however, is this: continuity does not demonstrate faithfulness. The Priesthood of Messiah’s day were in direct continuity with Aaron, but they were not faithful to him. To this, the imperialized mindset of the Easter Roman Orthodox Church, otherwise known as the Eastern Orthodox or Greek Orthodox Church, must turn her attention with fasting prayer.
-Ի Փառս Միմիայն Ամենակալին և Թագաւորին,
Այժմ և միշտ և յաւիտեանս յաւիտենից.
Ամէն։

Glory to God.

This clear and concise book outlines the true Faith given to our first Fathers, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, all the way down to the Apostles and their successors who live and operate by the Holy Spirit today. Bless those who read this.

Succinct and eye-opening

As a former Protestant Christian, I always thought of the ancient church as casual, unstructured and without firm theology. I thought that only came later, with Catholicism and later the Protestant reformation. In this book, Fr. Stephen makes a compelling case otherwise. With copious citations from scripture, this text shows how the story of Christianity didn’t just start with the birth of Christ, but rather reaches back to the Old Testament and provides a structure to both old and New Testament that I had never before imagined was there. Highly recommended!

good content. dry narrator

good detailed content. worth relisten. narrator dry but not professional. would still recommend highly.

Great book for Protestant inquirers to Orthodoxy

There is only one Biblical religion. There are not three Abrahamic paths. There is one. The Religion of The Apostles. Orthodox Christianity.
