Publisher's Synopsis
Ostensibly, Christianity and the church in general appear quite prosperous and robust. Centuries have witnessed its prodigious spread and its transformation of entire peoples to Christ's teachings. Christianity has been the dominant religion of the world in terms of adherents. And yet, despite the numbers and influence Christianity has had, a macabre underside exists. To those who dare to look closely into the confines of Christianity, they encounter a perspective far different from the popular consensus. What counts as authentic Christianity may not be the one most people assume.
