• Pagan Christianity: The Order of Paul’s Letters?

  
  New Leaven — Authority: 474
  Never has it ever entered my mind that someone could actually link the “distortions” in our churches to the order of Paul’s Letters and the chronological narrative of the early church.

• Tithing and Clergy Salaries: Sore Spots on the Wallet

  
  New Leaven — Authority: 474
