He highlights and explains the primary cause of most of the spiritual apathy which have characterized local churches since the Fourth Century.  The root cause involves a fundamental change in church pastoral ministry which the author believes has produced disastrous spiritual results through the centuries. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe author portrays the young Christian Church in its first three centuries as prospering spiritually in spite of severe persecution.
