The author states that the book's purpose is to explain the 'phenomenon' of Christians from every denomination being drawn to seek out their religion's origins, stripped of the dressings of modern Christian doctrines. And that is what it proceeds to do.

The book gives wonderfully thought out historical-context useful to both Christians seeking a more Hebraic understanding, and other people trying to understand what's going on, or have an interest in Christianity's Hebraic origins. Rick explains why the phenomenon is happening and backs his beliefs with solid scripture and history, not in an effort to preach, but to share with people what he believes is happening.

Even the more controversial topics (and believe me, they are) are solidly covered and shown in a historical light you may not have known was even possible.

I give this book a five for covering exactly what it claims to in a concise and thorough way.

I was very pleased with the book Origins of Our Faith by Rick Richardson. The book is easy to read, simple to check against Scripture and provides profound insight free of a personal agenda that is not always found in current publications. Origins of Our Faith offers a unique opportunity to explore the very basics of faith. The book is certainly worth the time. Sal
