Sutton, who approaches his work as a dedicated layman rather than a formal theologian, frames the Bible as the absolute authority for faith. He advocates for a return to viewing scripture as inerrant, emphasizing that believers should interpret texts through the lens of historical context and original authorial intent. The book moves from these foundational principles into practical applications, covering complex areas such as the fear of the Lord, the nature of suffering, and the role of the Sabbath as a spiritual necessity rather than a mere weekly ritual.
Greg Sutton Calls for Biblical Rethink in Long Forgotten
In his new book, Long Forgotten: Rediscovering Biblical Topics Neglected by the American Church, author Greg Sutton challenges contemporary believers to move past passive attendance toward rigorous scriptural study. The Phoenix-based writer argues that many foundational doctrines are currently underemphasized or misunderstood within modern American congregations.
Beyond personal holiness, the text addresses contentious debates within evangelical circles, including church governance, conditional security, and gender roles in marriage. Sutton frames the Christian life as a path of active self-denial and disciplined growth, urging parents and church leaders to prioritize prayer and discipleship. Published by AuthorHouse and available in multiple formats, the book serves as both a critique of culturally influenced Christianity and a manual for those seeking a more traditional, doctrine-centered walk of faith.
