Synopsis

"Nobody disputes it. The first 300 years of Christianity were epic years. They were the legendary years of unparalleled gospel penetration. In them we find the storied days of the church’s radical, wholesale participation in spreading the gospel’s stunningly good news far and wide. Somehow—with no printing press, no church buildings, no seminaries, no radio or television, no mass mailings, no Internet, no Christian concerts, no church growth experts, and most of all, no clergy—these Christ-followers remain unrivaled in the “gospeling” of the world in their day. In fact, the stunning historical reality is this–Christianity was at its best when it had no clergy and no church buildings! But how could this be? The reason is both profoundly simple and profoundly powerful. Like great athletes, the early Christ-followers simply did the basics extraordinarily, tirelessly, and relentlessly well. What then were these basics? What made them so powerful? Most of all, could they be replicated in our day? Game-Changing Christianity is the highly provocative, deeply encouraging, and radically challenging answer to these critical questions."
