The Church in the Wilderness
The Church in the Wilderness is the connecting link between apostolic Christianity and God’s people today. Great prominence is given to it in the Scriptures. And yet history has covered and re-written a so many of the facts about the Christian believers between 538 a.d. and 1798. Truth has been absorbed into legend and facts of history changed by rulers and church leaders. Is it possible to know any of the truth of how the teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles were shared and preserved by Heroes of the Cross during the Dark Ages and across time and continents?
The author of Truth Triumphant brings together the narrative of the Church in the Wilderness across the centuries, across nations’ borders, and around the world. Seeking out rare original sources, traveling many times to the locations mentioned, and diligently searching historians who have gone before him, here emerges a new story that throws strong light on the history of God’s people. Visit Europe, the British Isles, India, Syria, China, the Philippines, and more in search of those who kept the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus. These hidden heroes were the true guardians of the treasures of Truth which God has committed to His people to be given to the world.
