What happens when one questions whether the Christian Church has truly followed the teachings of Jesus, or if it has simply built a comfortable legacy around them? Notes From “The Catacombs” by T. Hans Olson is a bold, unfiltered collection of personal writings that confront this question head-on.
Based on years of letters, emails, and reflections, Olson’s work doesn’t preach; it provokes thought. These pages are filled with urgency, driven by a deep concern for uncovering authentic Christian truth in a world that often prioritizes convenience over conviction. With a voice that is both humble and piercing, Olson challenges readers to reconsider what it means to live a Christ-centered life, and not just worship one.
The title itself is a metaphor: the “catacombs” symbolize buried truths, forgotten intentions, and the spiritual legacy of Jesus that Olson believes has been overshadowed by institutional traditions. Through each entry, he invites readers to dig beneath the surface of modern faith and rediscover the radical simplicity of love, forgiveness, and servanthood.
This isn’t a theological textbook or a historical critique. It is a call to reawaken. Olson’s reflections are rooted in the New Testament yet speak directly to our present moment. Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or someone quietly wrestling with the current state of the Church, this book offers a space for reflection, questioning, and perhaps a chance to start anew.
