Are your church traditions based on truth-or tradition?
Christmas. Easter. Halloween. These holidays fill the Christian calendar-but are they supported by Scripture? Or do they trace back to pagan rituals and cultural compromise?
Church Traditions: Origins, Influence, and Biblical Validity is a deep, Scripture-rich exploration of the most celebrated Christian holidays. Through detailed historical research, biblical analysis, Church Father quotes, and Greek and Hebrew word studies, Michael S. Taylor uncovers the true origins of these traditions and their impact on modern worship.
Whether you're a seeker of truth, a pastor, a parent, or simply a believer who wants to honor God more faithfully, this book will challenge what you've always assumed and call you to a higher standard of worship.
Test everything. Hold fast what is good.
Worship God-not tradition.
