IS IT CHRISTIANITY, OR IS IT HERESY? In the first five centuries after the Crucifixion, a series of politically sponsored ecumenical councils were held to determine church doctrine. The winners at these meetings defined the nature of Christianity, the contents of the Bible, and acceptable interpretations of the gospel. The losers were labeled heretics. Though few modern church-goers know about the men and circumstances which shaped those doctrines, the vast majority of Christian parishioners worship in accordance with the ecumenical councils -- and not necessarily with the teachings of Christ -- every day. In THE CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY, Dr. L. David Moore reviews the circumstances behind these world-shaping events and compares the choices of the ecumenical councils with the known philosophy of the historical Christ. Among the topics reviewed are: -- The Nature of Jesus Christ -- The Definition of a Christian -- Soul and Salvation -- Reincarnation and Karma -- Celibacy or Sexuality -- Religious Tolerance vs. Conversion by the Sword With this sequel to CHRISTIANITY AND THE NEW AGE RELIGION, Dr. Moore makes accessible a wealth of information previously available only through years of academic research. THE CHRISTIAN CONSPIRACY provides a sound historic background for bridging the gap between Christianity and universal tolerance among all religions. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF ALL PATHS will value this work as much as a reference resource as for its fresh and useful insights.
