A look at a book: The Real Heretics

David Bercot is an interesting fellow to say the least. A former attorney and Anglican priest he doesn't mind looking at what he knows might be wrong about his beliefs and exposing them. His main interest is aligning modern day Christian with the thoughts of the Patristics, the early church fathers.

In church services everywhere we never really realize how many subjects are neglected at the pulpit. While salvation should always be the center and mainstay, learning what the Bible says about war, abortion, communittee, etc is also important. In Bercot's book Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up: A New Look at Today's Evangelical Church in the Light of Early Christianity, he reminds us what ideas of the early church fathers we have either neglecte or missed entirely. Is he correct in every assumption and conclusion. No, but who is?

What he gives us is a brief, basic, and insightful look our modern through the eyes of our early church Apostolics.
