Publisher's Synopsis
Historically adherents have been called on to defend their beliefs with their lives and for some martyrdom are either willing or unwilling. Choosing death over a necessary medical begs the question to be asked whether this was an act of faith, being a martyr, or suicide?People become members of religious groups based more on convincing arguments than research and conviction. Few people have the time and the knowhow to get to the root of religious teaching.This book traces from the beginning of Judaism to the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth then to the Second Great Awakening of the 1840s.The Second Awakening of the 1840s was driven by hellfire preaching. In response, prophets arose with messages to counter this. This gave rise to a Jesus Christ who is different from the traditional beliefs.Are you ready to explore some of these beliefs?
