Overview

There is a growing gulf between what the Bible teaches and the church's current beliefs and practices. As a consequence, this book is an attempt to respond to an institution-the church-that, in many ways, has lost its way. (And that is reflected in the common belief that the church is little more than a not-for-profit welfare organisation with some religious mumbo-jumbo added in for those who need it.) It's not perfect-more of a work in progress-but it is an attempt to address a situation where the Gospel is being corrupted; that is, added to, taken away from, and even lost altogether. But be warned: this manual is intended to be a vehicle of change and, by its nature, many people will find aspects of its content very challenging.

Author Information

Brian A Curtis was born in Kent, England, and at the age of twenty, left home and migrated to Australia. In 1980, he began his theological studies at Ridley Theological College, Melbourne, and on completion was ordained by the Anglican Church of Australia in Tasmania. In 1990, he took a ten-year break from the ordained ministry, and gained work helping welfare recipients and the long-term unemployed. He then returned to the stipendiary ministry, but retired in 2009 to concentrate on his writing. Brian has a deep interest in biblical culture and teaching. Indeed, he has a passion that others should share a good understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. He sees this as particularly relevant in a world where they are so often misunderstood and misrepresented.
