From Destiny Image
In an era where charismatic Christians regularly face criticism for perceived gaps between experiential faith and biblical understanding, a new timely release presents a vital bridge between these two worlds.
The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded by bestselling author Frank Viola is set to transform how Bible-believing Christians engage Scripture.
This groundbreaking work provides a key that unlocks the New Testament, addressing a long-standing need within the charismatic community for deeper and clearer biblical understanding.
The Untold Story has received high praise from Dr. Craig Keener, the world’s leading scholar in New Testament background and the book of Acts. Dr. Keener, himself a respected charismatic in the academic world, wrote the Foreword and glowingly endorses the book stating,
“In The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded, Frank Viola brings context and background together, inviting us on a captivating journey through the birth and growth of the first-century church. With a reputation for captivating prose and heartfelt storytelling, Viola brings his unique perspective to reconstruct the events from Matthew to Revelation. The Untold Story offers a plausible chronological narrative that reveals the grand tapestry of God’s kingdom plan and brings the characters of the story to life.”
Keener’s unprecedented endorsement underscores the book’s unique position in bringing together careful biblical scholarship with charismatic spirituality.
Respected New Testament scholar Clinton Arnold, who is known for his work on spiritual warfare, powers, and principalities. Arnold writes,
“This volume is a creative and fascinating portrayal of the rise of Christianity and the establishment of churches throughout the Mediterranean world. Viola weaves the evidence of the New Testament into a single unfolding and compelling story. Yet he does so not with unbridled imagination, but with a profound reliance on the best scholarship available. The end result is an accurate, engaging and compelling account of this movement that has had a monumental impact on history and continues to do so today.”
This powerful book is poised to become an essential resource for charismatic Christians, for pastors of all denominations, Bible study leaders and curious Christians who desire a deeper, more biblically grounded faith.
