Who Is David Bercot?
David Bercot is a retired attorney, author, and church historian. Outside of law, his special field of interest and study has been the early church (particularly the church prior to the Council of Nicaea, A. D. 325).
Bercot has authored several books:
Common Sense
A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs
In God We Don’t Trust
The Kingdom that Turned the World Upside Down
Let Me Die in Ireland
Plain Speaking
Secrets of the Kingdom Life
Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up
Will the Theologians Please Sit Down
In addition to his books, Bercot speaks frequently on the subject of early Christianity and radical Christian discipleship. He has recorded nearly seventy lectures on Christian topics, particularly on Christian history and what the early Christians believed. Most of David Bercot’s books and teaching CDs are purposefully provocative, challenging today’s Christians to return to the radical Christian discipleship and doctrinal teachings of the primitive church.
