Before it was scripture… it was lived. What if you could stand on a hillside and watch Jesus speak to his disciples— before doctrine, before institutions, before belief hardened into certainty? Before It Was Scripture is not an argument. It’s a witness. A modern observer is sent back to see the New Testament as it unfolded—messy, human, unresolved, and costly. What emerges is a faith shaped by restraint instead of power, love instead of leverage, and truth that refuses to defend itself with violence. This book is for readers who feel faith has become louder—but thinner. For those who sense something essential was lost when belief became certainty. For anyone still willing to walk, even without guarantees. 📘 Before It Was Scripture by Christopher Hignite
