The Torch of the Testimony - Paperback

Here is the 2,000-year history of those Christians and churches that have stood outside the Protestant-Catholic tradition. This history is not written only that we might know the facts, but that we might learn from the experience of those who have gone on before - lessons which will vitally affect our daily living and order the progress of our spiritual walk.

Beginning in the first century, the author traces the history of Christian groups who remained outside formalized religion down through the ages. Within these pages you will read a stirring, passionate and sometimes heart-rending story of suffering for the centrality of Christ within the church.

This book was originally published in India in 1964 and is little known in the western world. John W. Kennedy was originally from Great Britain, but lived in India from 1952, ministering to indigenous Christian groups until his death.
