DO WE DARE TO CONFRONT THE EARLY CHURCH? Still bathed in the afterglow of Christ's appearance, the early church remained chaste for Him by the only means available to it-and to us-self-judgment. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. (I Pet 4:17) Try the spirits whether they are of God. (I John 4:1) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (I Cor 11:31) Self-examination, let us remember, is the core of Jesus's teaching: Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own? (Matt 7:3) When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Lk 18:8) The thread from which the very life of the church hangs is nothing more nor less than searching self-scrutiny. Yet, our churches have ignored Christ's command of self-examination, and the apostles' command of self-judgment, as if churches were above criticism simply because they are churches. With such imperatives constraining us from across two millennia, no justification can possibly be offered for the massive failure of our churches to judge themselves, especially in view of their readiness to judge other churches and the world outside. Only if we rediscover the sacredly imposed humility of self-judgment does revitalization await us. Without it, no revival, no renewal, no reform is possible. Do we dare vest ourselves in the self-scrutiny of the early church as we grope in the darkness of the twenty-first century? Charles W. Schaefer is a teacher and preacher whose other works include Christianity Without Religion, The Short Stories of Jesus Christ, Expanding the Frontiers of Christian Consciousness, and The Great Evangelical Dilution.

Contrasting scripture and art, faith and imagination, revelation and vision, the author argues for the provocative thesis that the American Romantic and Puritan traditions are irreconcilably opposed, and that they represent the collision of mutually exclusive worldviews.

This collection spans a wide variety of subjects in keeping with the encyclopedic interests of Christian humanism, such as Scripture, the variety of personal experience, history, philosophy, science and mathematics, sacred music, education, prophecy, cultural evolution, poetry, even historical fiction. The literary pieces contained in this volume may be read in any order. Throughout, the emphasis is depth Christianity-searching out deeper revelation, deeper encouragement and prophetic understanding for all followers of Christ in the tradition of the author's earlier work, Expanding the Frontiers of Christian Consciousness. Charles W. Schaefer, "disciple and humanist," spent the earlier years of his life as a college educator in the field of English literature at both Christian and secular institutions of higher learning, and later entered the nondenominational pulpit. His previous works include Christianity Without Religion, The Short Stories of Jesus Christ: Interpreting the Parables, The Great Evangelical Dilution, Expanding the Frontiers of Christian Consciousness, First Century Christianity in the Twenty-first Century, Mountain Apocalypse: The Sermon on the Mount Restored, and St. Paul Meets St. James! All except the first two are available online at most major book outlets. The author and his family maintain a trout farm in a forested region of upper New York."

National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

This book is a step by step excursion into the unfolding of consciousness. It merges science and spirituality in simple Christian terms to attune the reader to body, mind, and spirit. The book begins with the knowledge of our oneness with a God that is everywhere in pureconsciousness and then it leads one to the ultimate Christian goal. The book attunes the reader to science and spirituality because they are not divorced, but compliment each other. Scientist and prophets through out all the ages of civilization have recognized the immense power that governs and controls the universe.
