Many of his listeners embrace his teaching although it reflects a poor exposition and application of Scripture. This is important since the so-called Law of Attraction was preached by Pastor A. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article challenges the secular infiltration of the Law of Attraction in the church. That might sound like an oxymoron after all, the book is filled with historical dates and references. This lengthy list lacks substantive biblical support.

Pagan Christianity is a historical book that hates history. By Frank Viola and George Barna (reviewed by Peter DeHaan) Pagan Christianity is an eye-opening delineation of how numerous traditions, customs, and practices have been erroneously introduced to the church that Jesus’ followers started.
