Reckless Christianity

Reckless Christianity by Holly Pivec and R. Douglas Geivett explores the Bethel Church Movement, a global phenomenon that has transformed modern Christian practice, culture, and worship. At its core is the New Apostolic Reformation, which seeks to reconstruct the mission and message of the Christian church through the work of "apostles" and "prophets". However, this movement has also been criticized for introducing speculative and experience-driven practices that have led to chaos, confusion, and damaged lives. This book examines the controversies surrounding Bethel Church and its place within the broader New Apostolic Reformation, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play. The Bethel Church Movement has gained widespread attention due to reports of miraculous healings and other miracles, drawing thousands of visitors each year. Yet others have raised concerns about the movement's departure from biblical boundaries and the potential risks associated with its practices. By examining the teachings and practices of this movement, Pivec and Geivett aim to provide a balanced understanding of the issues at hand. Through a critical analysis of the Bethel Church Movement, Reckless Christianity offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between faith, power, and experience in modern Christian practice.
