Apostolic Roots

Book excerpt: The author draws a stimulating conclusion about the origin of Pentecostalism in the 20th century. Apostolic Roots: An Interracial Heritage is Bishop Ross Perry Paddock's bold and honest account of the Pentecostal Apostolic lineage after the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California. Daunted by the racial strife and segregation among Apostolic Christians, Bishop Paddock asked the question, "today, will Jesus recognize the church He established since the Day of Pentecost?" Why are there so many separations amongst Apostolic worshippers? Apostolic Roots: An Interracial Heritage is Bishop Paddock's audacious account about the state of God's church and how far the Pentecostal Apostolic faith has drifted away from the original landmark of the faith once delivered unto the saints.
