Hardcover. "All authority is of God."They said it from the pulpit. They said it in the cell group. They said it when Ralph Good asked why he had to cut his beard, why he had to abandon his own calling to serve the pastor's vision, why questioning an elder meant inviting the judgment of God. To resist authority, he was told, was to resist God himself.It nearly killed him.The Altar of Authority is one man's account of what fear-based religion does to a person - and what happened when he finally opened the Bible for himself. After a childhood ruled by dread and a conversion in a rented room above a bar, Ralph Good spent years inside a church that used a single verse to keep him compliant. In the wreckage that followed, he did what no one expected: he examined every Greek word translated "authority" in Scripture, one verse at a time.What he found was not what he had been taught. Jesus described the authority of this world as belonging to the ruler of darkness. Satan claimed it and offered it. Jesus refused it - and handed his followers something else entirely: the authority of a servant.Part memoir, part word study, part invitation, this book draws the line between the authority Christ gave and the authority men claim in his name. It recovers the fear of God as reverent love rather than dread. And it ends where the author's own freedom took him: into a neighborhood held hostage by dealers who ruled by fear - the same weapon, in different hands - where refusing to bow transformed a community.Includes a complete appendix examining every Greek term rendered "authority" in the New Testament, with Strong's references, for anyone who has ever been handed a verse and told to submit.For readers of Redeeming Power, A Church Called Tov, and The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse.

"All authority is of God."
They said it from the pulpit. They said it in the cell group. They said it when Ralph Good asked why he had to cut his beard, why he had to abandon his own calling to serve the pastor's vision, why questioning an elder meant inviting the judgment of God. To resist authority, he was told, was to resist God himself.
It nearly killed him.
The Altar of Authority is one man's account of what fear-based religion does to a person - and what happened when he finally opened the Bible for himself. After a childhood ruled by dread and a conversion in a rented room above a bar, Ralph Good spent years inside a church that used a single verse to keep him compliant. In the wreckage that followed, he did what no one expected: he examined every Greek word translated "authority" in Scripture, one verse at a time.
What he found was not what he had been taught. Jesus described the authority of this world as belonging to the ruler of darkness. Satan claimed it and offered it. Jesus refused it - and handed his followers something else entirely: the authority of a servant.
Part memoir, part word study, part invitation, this book draws the line between the authority Christ gave and the authority men claim in his name. It recovers the fear of God as reverent love rather than dread. And it ends where the author's own freedom took him: into a neighborhood held hostage by dealers who ruled by fear - the same weapon, in different hands - where refusing to bow transformed a community.
Includes a complete appendix examining every Greek term rendered "authority" in the New Testament, with Strong's references, for anyone who has ever been handed a verse and told to submit.
For readers of Redeeming Power, A Church Called Tov, and The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
