Christians do not love Jesus enough! Indeed on a scale of 1 to 10 the average Christian's love for Him scores no more than 2. That is the startling message of Lloyd David Elcock's first volume of a series of scriptural expositions that he proposes to publish under the rubric: "What the gentiles have done to Christianity." The foundation upon which he has built that series includes the following three cornerstones: Biblical Christianity can accurately and justifiably also be called Jewish Christianity. After the control and direction of Biblical/Jewish Christianity was passed from Jewish to Gentile hands at the beginning of the 2nd century AD, the Gentiles comprehensively deformed it, and 1200 years later, partially reformed it. The salvage and recovery of Biblical/Jewish Christianity, begun five hundred years ago by Luther, Calvin and the other Gentile Protestant Reformers, is only fifty percent completed; in particular, a number of the most important doctrines of Biblical/Jewish Christianity are yet to be recovered and their absence from today's Evangelical Church is the principal cause of the endemic and widespread carnality, and stunted spiritual growth that characterize the lives and lifestyle of the overwhelmingly vast majority of born again Christians everywhere in the western world. In this first volume, the author puts forward the view that one of those as yet unretrieved fundamental doctrines is the major key to the Spirit filled life of love, faith and power that is the ultimate goal of both Biblical Christianity and Gentile Evangelical Christianity. That key, he contends, is hidden (in plain view), in the pages of the fourteenth chapter of John's Gospel.

About The Author:

Lloyd David Elcock is an ordained Church elder (in the strictly biblical sense) and has ministered as such in England, the USA and the Caribbean. In the early nineties, he co-founded an independent Full Gospel local church in his homeland, where he served for a number of years as an elder, and for one year as a pastor.

A British trained Barrister at Law, he holds graduate and postgraduate degrees in Law from the University of London, England, and has been a Superior Court Judge for more than fourteen years. He is currently a Lecturer in Church History at the Kairos Institute, a Caribbean-American Bible School located in Trinidad, where he resides with his wife, Margaret and two of their five children. His abiding passion is to participate with like-minded believers in the planting of local churches, based strictly on the New Testiment pattern with its emphasis on (i) assembling in every house, as well "as in the temple" and (ii) the indespensable component of the manifestation of the Gifts and the Fruit of the Holy Spirit through every single member of every local church.
