Jeroboam & Luther: Inventors of New Religions - Hardcover

Two Men. Two Eras. One Anatomy of Schism.

When King Jeroboam tore the ten tribes of Israel away from the House of David, he faced a massive problem: how to keep his new subjects from returning to the true Temple in Jerusalem. His solution? He invented a new religion. He forged new altars, ordained his own priests, altered the liturgical calendar, and erected golden calves, declaring to the breakaway nation, "Here are your gods."

Centuries later, an Augustinian monk named Martin Luther initiated a parallel fracture. Tearing millions away from the Apostolic See, Luther abolished the sacrificial priesthood, stripped the altars, and fundamentally altered the Christian liturgy.

In Jeroboam & Luther: Inventors of New Religions, the spiritual trajectory of schism is laid bare. This fast-paced, historically rigorous theological manifesto demonstrates how the collapse of the Northern Kingdom serves as the perfect historical and biblical mirror for the Protestant Reformation.

Through the lens of the Divided Monarchy, this book explores the devastating cost of abandoning divinely appointed authority-and reveals why the blueprint of rebellion remains exactly the same, no matter the century.
