Unofficial Christianity

By Shelton Bissell

Book Overview

Unofficial Christianity is a thought-provoking book written by Shelton Bissell that explores the various ways in which Christianity has been practiced and interpreted outside of traditional institutional settings. The author delves into the world of alternative Christian communities, including those that reject mainstream beliefs and practices, as well as those that have developed their own unique interpretations of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.Bissell examines the history and beliefs of various non-traditional Christian groups, such as the Amish, Quakers, and Pentecostals, as well as more recent movements like the Emergent Church and the Jesus People. He also explores the ways in which these communities have influenced mainstream Christianity, and how they have been shaped by the broader cultural and social contexts in which they exist.Throughout the book, Bissell challenges readers to question their own assumptions about what it means to be a Christian, and to consider the diverse ways in which people have sought to live out their faith throughout history. Unofficial Christianity is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the many ways in which Christianity has been practiced and interpreted, and is sure to be of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this complex and multifaceted religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
