Well, that is what I have done in these two volumes of \"Blueprint for a Revolution: Building Upon ALL of The New Testament.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a catechism of apostolic, true Christianity. It is a body of teaching that flows out of taking all New Testament teachings in a grammatically natural and literal sense, the way we instinctively read all serious literature. Testimony from the earliest Christians is also presented, demonstrating that what those earliest churches taught and lived out was typically identical to what you conclude when you take the New Testament doctrines, commands and promises in that same sense.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn those many years of research, I have never come upon a single church or book that provides a specific set of principles (a.k.a., \"exegetical method\") by which all Biblical passages are to be interpreted, and that has then set about to consistently surrender to those principles in all the subjects that it covers. My claim, therefore, is that this is the only such catechetical work that does just that.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe importance of this book does not lie mainly in the specific conclusions of any individual chapter, and certainly not in any of my literally skills at presenting those conclusions. It lies largely in the juxtaposition of teachings that are often thought to be in conflict with each other only because the traditions that hold to the beliefs in those chapters have been in conflict with each other. It is my contention that what Jesus considered to be \"my church\" is what is taught within these chapters, the church that is an incarnation of His \"kingdom of God\"!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388871446801,"sku":"CIN1664229876G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51630696431889,"sku":"NGR9781664229877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595214450961,"sku":"NLS9781664229877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664229876.jpg?v=1751311480"},{"product_id":"blueprint-for-a-revolution-book-reed-k-merino-b-a-m-div-9781664231108","title":"Blueprint for a Revolution","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50989273874705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50989277413649,"sku":"NIN9781664231108","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474542850321,"sku":"NLS9781664231108","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1664231102.jpg?v=1751409324"},{"product_id":"blueprint-for-a-revolution-book-reed-k-merino-b-a-m-div-9781664231092","title":"Blueprint for a Revolution","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474488160529,"sku":"NLS9781664231092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52753084940561,"sku":"NIN9781664231092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781664231092.jpg?v=1759841285"},{"product_id":"blueprint-for-a-revolution-book-reed-k-merino-b-a-m-div-9781664229860","title":"Blueprint for a Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if you were to read the New Testament - really read it without denominational filters - read it over and over again.
