Frank Viola’s non-fiction bibliography reads as a sustained project rather than a random collection of books. Starting with The Untold Story of the New Testament Church (2005) and Pagan Christianity (2008), he laid out a critique of institutional Christianity and an alternative vision rooted in what he reads as the New Testament pattern. Reimagining Church and Finding Organic Church followed quickly, fleshing out the practical side of that vision for readers interested in home or house church communities.

The middle portion of his catalog shifts toward the person of Jesus, with books like Jesus: A Theography (2012), God’s Favorite Place on Earth (2013), Jesus Now (2014), and Jesus Speaks (2016) exploring different aspects of who Jesus is and what his life means for believers today. Later entries including Insurgence (2018), Regrace (2019), and 48 Laws of Spiritual Power (2022) continue to engage with church culture and Christian leadership in a direct, sometimes provocative way that has kept Viola’s readership engaged well into his third decade of publishing.
