Will The Theologians Please Sit Down Will the Theologians Please Sit Down08/06/2011
Regardless of the similarity in titles, this is kind of "the Real Heretics" part II; Bercot here inserts a missing piece of the first book's theme. There he detailed more of what happened to the church Jesus established two millennia ago, here he describes more of how and why. We fallen people, made in the image of the wondrously-loving Creator, are on a continuous power-grab, and when opportunity presents itself, we enjoy "lording it over" others - especially those not as intelligent or enlightened (ahem!) as we are. Why are the vast majority of us self-described "Christians" in this world self-deceived? Why will great theologians be among that vast throng who hear, "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"? Why has knowing supplanted doing? Because so many of us willingly buy into what we're told by "those who know" - the "authorities:" the clergy (where's THAT in my concordance?), authors, and other authoritative / authoritarian teachers, rather than simply obeying Jesus.

Will The Theologians Please Sit Down A wake up call!12/05/2009
Excellent book. I almost feel arrogant to say, I must admit, to be perfectly honest, that I tend towards "Doctrianity." I live my faith primarily by learning more and more and trying to clear up the lies others teach whenever and wherever someone seems open to hearing the truth as best I understand and can articulate it. I hope such efforts are also some kind of fruit because I have little else to show for my faith. I try to live peacefully and to treat others with respect and fairness, but as to visiting orphans and widows or helping the needy, I give precious little to the bankers (other ministries as I see it). While I think that it is extremely important to teach the necessity of obedience, I hope that I don't simply talk about it and fail to be obedient myself. Thank you David for staying so focused on what is important, and please don't let me or anyone else distract you from your invaluable work.

Will The Theologians Please Sit Down A synopsis of "Worldly Christianity"12/30/2009
When my "Kingdom Christian" Brother told me about WILL THE THEOLOGIANS PLEASE SIT DOWN.. I told him - "It's about time"! Now Brother David needs to write.. "Will the Evangelicals please LISTEN UP"? Of course we need to "love them" into the "Kingdom" first! A timely writing! An excellent 'tool' to help those of us that are on the 'front-line' to better understand how and why the "Worldly Cristians" think and act as they do. Reading thru the second time. A bit more in detail about the highlights of previous writings.. "Heretics".. "Upside Down" and "Common Sense" - ( which needs to be brought out in paperback once again )! Thank you.. Brother David Bercot.. for your obedience to the Holy Spirit [ when you went to your bookshelf 'one last time' ] as you allow your "talents" to manifest! We are all blessed as a result!

Best summary of where the "professing church" has gone wrong I have ever read. Stayed up all night, read through in 1 shot. Avoids extremes. Accurate overview of the true history of the Church. Also very convicting personally...although very well researched, this is not a merely academic study. Be prepared to ask yourself, "How much am I truly a follower of Jesus?

Will The Theologians Please Sit Down Another "good 'un"!01/18/2012
Like most of Mr Bercot's books, you can not glean everything out of this book in just a couple readings, I just finished my 6th pass and found more ammo to put in the old noggin'..Thank God for the Scroll Publishing & Brethren Revival Fellowship, whit out who I would NEVER get a straight answer on some subjects! Everyone needs to read this book, really!

Wow! I started and I couldn't put it down. I read it in four days. I could have read it in one or two days if I didn't have four young children who need my attention! I feel this is an important book for all Christians to read no matter what persuasion they may be.
