User:Reclarke/The Untold Story of the New Testament Church

The Untold Story of the New Testament Church is a book by Frank Viola, an American writer, blogger, and Christian speaker.

The book is based on the fact that the 27 books of the traditional New Testament canon appear not in the order in which they were originally written, but rather in order of decreasing length by author. This arrangement obscures important information about the way Christianity developed in the 1st century A.D. Viola attempts to overcome this problem by setting the new testament books in their chronological order and inserting them into an historical exposition that uses the Book of Acts as a framework.
