David Bercot is a practicing attorney, author, and church historian. Outside of law, his special field of interest and study has been the early church (particularly the church prior to the Council of Nicaea, A. D. 325). In addition to his books, Bercot speaks frequently on the subject of early Christianity and radical Christian discipleship. He has recorded nearly seventy lectures on Christian topics, particularly on Christian history and what the early Christians believed. Most of David Bercot’s books and teaching CDs are purposefully provocative, challenging today’s Christians to return to the radical Christian discipleship and doctrinal teachings of the primitive church.

 

Bercot has authored five books:

 

Will the Real Heretics Please Stand Up (1989)

The Pilgrim Road (1991)

Common Sense (1992)

A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs (1998)

Let Me Die in Ireland (1999)

The Kingdom that Turned the World Upside Down (2003)

Plain Speaking: How to Preach and Teach Effectively (2007)

 

Bercot and his wife Deborah reside in Pennsylvania with their three children.
