Popular Beliefs: Are They Biblical?

by Samuele Bacchiocchi

More and more Christians today are questioning the biblical validity of some of their denominational beliefs. They want to find out for themselves if what they believe is based on biblical teachings or church traditions. This book has been written with an earnest desire to help Christians of all persuasions to "come out" of the Babylonian confusion of popular but unbiblical beliefs, and accept God's glorious plan for our present life and our future destiny.
