A MODEL OF THE CHURCH
The Christian community as God’s dwelling place.
The builder’s plans are to be found in 1 Corinthians.
Paul defines the church as a people called by the Father, gathered by the Son, and gifted by the Holy Spirit.
We have been called out of the world, set apart for a divine purpose. We have been brought together as a community of God’s people. We have been given the Holy Spirit as our source of knowledge, the bond that unites us, and the guiding force in our shared life.
At the heart of this calling is the anticipation of Christ’s return and the resurrection of the dead.
For those who aspire to be servants of God, building His church brick by brick, Paul’s message is essential.
Stephen is the author of Prophets, Priests and Politics, also published by Austin Macauley, and founder of the Reddit subforum AskAnotherChristian. As a member of the Church of England, he is free from denominational restraints.

Who has been the most influential figure in world history? Everyone will agree that it is Jesus Christ, also the most controversial figure ever. What sets Jesus apart from all other religious figures is that his first followers made the stupendous claim that three days after he had been crucified by the Romans, he appeared to many of them in a recognizable but different form—he was now alive forever and finally ascended back to heaven where he now reigns supreme with his Father.
Surely the evidence for these amazing claims deserves thorough examination, with alternative ways of understanding the evidence also given careful consideration.
Here you will find all of the relevant evidence exhaustively evaluated so that readers can come to their own conclusion, one way or another.

Set in the Iron Age, 350 BC, this book describes the trials and tribulations of a small tribe. One dark day, the tribe is attacked by a force of brigand-warriors. Some of the tribe are killed, roundhouses burned, some of their recently harvested crops, food and goods stolen.
Their Druid, Derwen, instructs the tribe to move to a new site, far to the south, because the brigand-warriors could return; the villagers are farmers, not warriors, so they cannot easily defend themselves.
The Druid has an apprentice, Aofred, who has to undergo years of training and survive harsh ordeals associated with earth, air, fire and water to become a full Druid.
Soon after the attack, following the Druid’s advice, the tribe embarks on an epic journey with their livestock and a convoy of many waggons and carts carrying everything they own, including their harvested crops. They arrive at their new site situated close to a great river and the sea. They eventually build a new village-fort. They have to plough new fields to grow their crops. Their livestock thrives.
They experience hunger months after a failed harvest, followed by a freezing winter that costs lives. They replant crops of wheat, barley and oats the following year, but if this harvest is not a success they will be wiped out.
The villagers have to overcome great difficulties to build a harbour and a sea-going boat to enable them to trade widely which they believe is essential for their wealth and to obtain things that they do not make themselves.
A powerful group of brigand-warriors attack them again; they must find a way to fight, survive and secure their future.
