Impious Galileans: Reclaiming the Counter-Cultural Fierceness of the Early Church Why the Modern Church Must Be Hated for the Right Reasons - Hardcover

by Mike Brock (Author)

What if the key to a fierce, world-changing faith was hidden in an enemy's insult? When the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate contemptuously labeled early Christians the "impious Galileans," his own writings revealed their true power: a radical, indiscriminate charity that astonished him and that his own pagan empire could not replicate. This book is a summons to your soul-an invitation to journey back to those counter-cultural and irresistibly compassionate roots, fueled by the foundational truth that we love because God first loved us. It is a permission slip to recenter on the fierce, simple, and people-focused mission that first captured your heart. Go and love fiercely, serve sacrificially, and embody a faith that is hated for all the right reasons. Go and be a modern-day impious Galileans.
