The many articles and books that historians and Churchmen have written about Montanus belie the fact that almost nothing is known about him. No one knows whether he was rich or poor, educated or unlearned, or even if he was a slave or a free man, for after the Roman Empire became Christian in AD 325, leaders of the Roman Universal Church destroyed whatever it could of Montanus. The scant information that remains comes only from his Christian adversaries, and their visceral, almost pathological hatred of Montanus makes their information suspect, to say the least. From their writings, however, the following facts seem certain:
1) Montanus began his ministry during the mid-second century.
2) He ministered in Phrygia, a territory within the Roman province of Asia, where "all" believers had rejected Paul's gospel before he died (2Tim. 1:15).
3) Two women worked closely with him, Maximilla and Priscilla (nicknamed Prisca).
4) He did not introduce any theological novelties.
5) He and those with him spoke in tongues and prophesied.
6) He financially supported other Spirit-filled ministers so that they could travel and preach the gospel.
7) Montanus and Maximilla established storehouses, possibly to care for the poor.
8) He repudiated and condemned the entire developing Christian religion.
9) Hippolytus hyperbolically said that Montanus and those with him wrote "an infinite number of books," which can only mean that they wrote many of them.
Among academics, although no genuine historical facts provide a basis for the condemnation of Montanus, the slander and hatred refuse to die. The pitiless power of peer-pressure, or that of religious tradition, blurs the vision of even some of the most accomplished scholars, compelling them to join the chorus of other experts denouncing Montanus and perpetuating the agreed-upon assessment of him. For all the knowledge which Church historians possess––and they possess much and are to be respected for that––I have found among them no one who perceives what I believe to be Montanus' true significance.
The New Testament bears undeniable witness to the fact that near the end of the age of the apostles, there was a great apostasy from the true gospel. The writings of second-century men who are considered "fathers of the Church" show that the apostasy continued in that century and beyond—if the truth of the gospel is understood. I believe that Montanus understood the gospel and saw the apostasy, and that it was his condemnation of the apostasy which brought upon him vicious condemnation from those who were in it.
Were it but a few undistinguished scholars making derogatory statements about Montanus, the accusations might be dismissed as the product of unknowledgeable minds, but many accomplished experts in this field make such judgments of him. I believe they do so because their great knowledge is befogged by a spiritual blindness which renders their impressive intellect useless in coming to the knowledge of the truth (cf. 2Tim. 3:7).
The fact that Montanus was so hated and slandered by Christian ministers in his day commends him to those who have truly heard from God and have suffer abuse at the hands of honorable Christians for doing so. True servants of God know what it is like to be hated for righteousness' sake. That is what I sensed in Montanus as a seminary student when I first learned about him, and that is why I am writing this book.

Acerca del autor
The home of my youth was devoted to Jesus; at the same time, our lives were unconnected with church religion. Without my realizing it, that setting made me an alien to the religious world that most believers know. Twice a month, on Sunday afternoons, my parents would gather in a home to worship with a few others, while we children played outside or sat with the adults in the prayer meeting, as we chose. Beyond that, every Sunday morning, my father read the Bible with the family, sang a song or two, and finally, knelt with us to pray. That was the extent of my boyhood corporate worship experience. In daily life, faith in Jesus sustained and preserved us, and godliness was the expected standard.
So foreign to me was the Christian religious system that after I graduated from college, when my father suggested that I attend a seminary, I had no idea what a seminary was. Being "led into all truth" by the Spirit was the only education in spiritual matters that I was aware of, but my father felt the seminary experience would benefit me. And it did. Still, my elders' way of living and of worship taught me to look to Jesus to guide my heart and shape my thoughts. How well I learned that lesson, I leave to the judgment of others.

ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
