The Church Through the Ages

From the day of Pentecost in AD 33, Christ established His church - not built on thrones, cathedrals, or denominations, but on the Rock of His Word and Spirit. Yet throughout history, men have sought to redefine, institutionalize, and fragment the body of Christ.

Israel After the Flesh vs. Israel of the Spirit: A History of God's People from AD 33 to Today traces the story of God's true church from its earliest days under persecution, through Constantine's empire, the medieval schisms, the Reformation, the Great Awakenings, and into the modern age of prophecy movements, global missions, and digital Christianity.

This book challenges long-held assumptions about "God's chosen people," exposing the contrast between national Israel after the flesh and the spiritual Israel - the one body of Christ. It explores how denominationalism, crusades, inquisitions, prosperity preaching, and political Zionism have distorted the message of Christ, while the faithful remnant of believers endured in simplicity and truth.

Drawing from Scripture, history, and prophecy, Douglas Duke demonstrates that the Bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem, and the true temple of God are not institutions of men, but the people of God redeemed in every age.

This is more than history - it is a call back to the foundation laid by Christ and His apostles, a reminder that where two or three gather in His name, there is the true church.
