Raising The Ruins: The fight to revive a legacy by Stephen Flurry
Raising the Ruins: The Fight to Revive the Legacy of Herbert W. Armstrong
by Stephen Flurry — A call to restore a contested religious legacy
In Raising the Ruins, Stephen Flurry chronicles the struggle to preserve and revive the teachings and legacy of Herbert W. Armstrong following the dramatic breakup of the Worldwide Church of God. Writing from an insider’s perspective, Flurry details the theological disputes, institutional conflicts, and legal battles that emerged as Armstrong’s doctrines were abandoned or repudiated by church leadership.
Blending religious history, personal testimony, and doctrinal defense, the book argues for a return to what Flurry views as foundational truths and original teachings. Raising the Ruins is both a record of religious upheaval and a passionate appeal to rebuild what was dismantled—faith, doctrine, and spiritual identity.
