Deceiving Winds
Christians Navigating the Storms of Mysticism, Leadership Struggles & Sensational Worship
Is the church adapting to remain relevant to our culture today, or are we simply repeating the same abuses of worship found in the first century?
Travel back in time to ancient Ephesus, where Paul’s letters to the Christians there will help us to see the parallels between our time now and the first century.
Bruce Morton applies insights from historical research to many of today’s most discussed topics, such as postmodernism and the reality of evil, the lure of sensational worship, our view of Christ and His church, and the role of women. Also includes questions for class study and discussion.
In a time when much of the New Testament is being dismissed as "just cultural," Bruce Morton challenges us to take another look at striking parallels between our times and those of the first century Ephesians. Morton applies the insights from his historical research to such contemporary topics as postmodernism, the emerging church, feminism, and congregational leadership.
