About this ebook
Christian knowledge is on the decline in the West, thanks in part to the post-modern view of religious subjectivity. This writing exposes the folly of ecumenism by briefly expounding a timely message from Jude.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was very unthoughtful, unbiblical attempt to call out false teaching. Where there is falsehood, call it out. agreed. It is one thing to say a person did something false than to say the unity of the body of christ will never happen.
