Description
In Christian Individualism: The Maverick Biblical Workmanship of Otis Q. Sellers, Anthony Flood traces Sellers’s journey from Baptist pastor to independent Bible teacher, a man whose pursuit of the truth cost him his pulpit, his home, and his standing among the so-called “orthodox.”
Consecrating his life to “rightly dividing the Word of Truth,” Sellers followed Scripture beyond the boundaries of inherited doctrine. What he learned about baptism made it impossible for him to remain a Baptist. Over time, traditional teachings about the soul, “born again,” “the Lord’s Supper,” "eternal life", and "hell" also fell before his meticulous study.
In the depths of the Great Depression, Sellers left his pastorate and comfortable home, moving into his parents’ attic with his young family to begin the work that would define the next six decades of his life. Virtually alone, he distinguished Christ’s prophesied world government from His millennial presence on the Earth.
Part biography and part theological excavation, Christian Individualism presents a maverick Bible student who cherished the freedom to study, write, and, when necessary, change his mind. Those seeking a model of Bible study beholden to no denomination or organization will find it in the pages of this book.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Anthony Flood’s Christian Individualism is a part biography, part theological portrait of Otis Q. Sellers’s life and lifelong study of Scripture. Flood’s writing is exceptional, and there's a unique intimacy within it that pushes through as he presents the habits that shaped how Sellers approached biblical study. [...] Well written and insightful, readers who enjoy Christian biographies will adore this." — Readers' Favorite
"The book’s most compelling contribution lies in its exploration of the relationship between personal conviction, scriptural authority, and religious independence. [...] Readers interested in Christian theology, the history of American fundamentalism, dispensationalism, or the interpretation of Scripture will find a substantial and thought-provoking study. Christian Individualism offers both an appreciation of an overlooked religious thinker and a sustained argument for the responsibility of believers to examine the foundations of their faith." — Literary Titan
