Publisher's Synopsis
This text is a study based on an empirical analysis of a charismatic, covenant and ecumenical Christian Community located in Augusta, Georgia, USA. Data from over 100 interviews and 300 questionnaires provide to a Christian reader of how this community fleshes-out the daily living of the Good News of Jesus Christ. It documents the many stories of members of the Community who have made a life-time covenant commitment to practice Christianity charismatically and ecumenically (consisting of twelve different Christian denominations). This work is not theoretical or theological that speaks of what should be but, rather, of what is. Nor is it an academic piece directed to a scholarly community. It is, rather, based on real life experiences of over 300 Christians designed to be read by an educated Christian. Evidence will be presented that fulfills, at least in a significant way, how the Alleluia Christian Community has been and is revolutionary, and is making it possible to live the high call of the Gospel in practice and not just in theory. The image of "A Return of the Prototype" refers to this community being modeled on the Essene's of the Qumran and the Jerusalem Church of the Apostolic Era.
