What did the first generations of Christians believe about Jesus, salvation, the Church, and the fulfillment of God’s promises? Were their beliefs the same as those held by modern Christians, or has history preserved a different picture? The Man Who Crushes the Serpent examines Scripture alongside the writings of the earliest Christians to explore the faith that shaped the Church from the beginning. From the first promise of redemption in Genesis to the triumph of Christ over the serpent, this book traces the biblical narrative while comparing it with the testimony of those who learned the faith from the apostles and their immediate successors. Topics include Old Testament prophecies of Christ, the mystery of the Incarnation, the meaning of Genesis 3:15, the significance of Christ’s Cross, the Eucharist, faith and works, the purification of believers after death, the role of Mary and the saints, the development of the biblical canon, and the authority of the Church. Rather than relying on later traditions or modern assumptions, this book invites readers to examine the historical evidence for themselves. Whether you are Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, or simply interested in the history of Christianity, The Man Who Crushes the Serpent offers a thoughtful exploration of what the earliest Christians believed-and challenges readers to consider whether those beliefs have been faithfully preserved through the centuries.
