Chris Drake: Dismantling Religion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Dismantling Religion is a work of historical theology that reexamines Christian history, biblical prophecy, and the development of institutional Christianity through a fresh investigative lens.

Drawing from early church sources, medieval chronicles, archaeological evidence, and careful analysis of New Testament texts, the book explores whether a largely overlooked period of upheaval reshaped the trajectory of Christianity and influenced how eschatology-especially the millennium of Revelation 20-came to be interpreted.

What if a major historical crisis between the first and second millennia contributed to the loss of collective memory within the church?

What if the "thousand years" described in the Book of Revelation was not merely future expectation, but a fulfilled transition embedded in Christian history?

Rather than attacking faith, Dismantling Religion offers a serious inquiry into biblical prophecy, the evolution of church structure, and the shift from external covenantal law to internal moral conscience. It examines how interpretations of the Kingdom of God developed over time and how inherited theological frameworks may differ from the Kingdom proclaimed in the New Testament.

Blending church history, historical reconstruction, and biblical studies, this book speaks to readers interested in:

• Christian history and medieval Christianity
• Eschatology and Revelation studies
• Historical theology and prophetic interpretation
• The development of institutional religion
• Thoughtful Christian deconstruction grounded in research

This is not a rejection of Christianity.

It is an examination of how Christianity was shaped.

And it asks a direct question:

What if religion is not the Kingdom-and what if the Kingdom is closer than we have been taught to believe?
