I quite enjoy oral history books, since they show history from the perspective of regular people who lived through a time period or event, and not just the words of modern historians who focus on the big picture. I found this story in Canadian oral historian Barry Broadfoot's book "Six War Year...

Which text (or specific chapter/quote) from the Pre-Nicene church do you appreciate the most? I like a lot of them, especially the ones that affirm standards for Christians that many professing Christians reject today, such as Biblical Nonresistance. But I have to say my favourite quote is: "On...

Is the Shroud of Turin the authentic shroud that Jesus Christ's body was placed in? Is it just a medieval forgery? And does it even matter? I ask these questions because I had a discussion with a Roman Catholic a few months back that started with the authenticity of the letter from Abgar V to Jesus ...

I apologize if I misread the post and my question is too off topic. But if somebody is unable to attend a Conservative Anabaptist church because it is too far away, what would you suggest they do? I have been reluctant to attend a church of a different denomination than that because I feel uncomfort...
