Frank Viola has spent two decades writing about Christianity from outside the mainstream institutional church. His 2008 book Pagan Christianity, co-written with George Barna, made his name widely known by arguing that many common church practices have roots in pre-Christian culture rather than the New Testament. From there he wrote a string of books on Jesus, church community, and spiritual formation that developed a consistent theological vision across his catalog.

His later books, including Insurgence (2018) and 48 Laws of Spiritual Power (2022), show a writer still refining and sometimes sharpening his perspective. Viola’s work is written for general Christian readers rather than academics, and his accessible style has built a broad readership among people interested in house church movements and deeper engagement with the Gospels.
