Crosses and Pillars
Rediscovering Church History
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The small dusty town of Nazareth had launched a philosophical war on the massive fertile Mediterranean Empire that would result in its utter transformation. For millennia the Mediterranean had been a region of power struggles and dominion, development and exploitation. Though this would certainly continue through the powerful and renowned, there would be hope given to the ignobilem, the obscure and unknown. This philosophy pulled asunder the columns of ancient thought that rendered humanity impotent to reach its potential. The assault that would abolish the burden of a heavy yoke would emerge from one, then twelve, and then thousands. Christians were to “take up their cross” to follow Christ, but when the cross of Christ was made known through the Gospels, those transformed became pillars of light (lux) and truth (veritas) to the world.

About the Book
This book reintroduces ecclesiastical history in a concise manner that speaks both to the laymen and academic, informing them concerning the events and theology that the church struggled with and emerged victorious over the past two millennia. It is an objective study of ecclesiastical history that led the author to a more robust understanding of theology which challenges some of the novel differences in the numerous Protestant denominations of today.
