Luke constructed his Acts narrrative in reciprocating fashion, alternating between the Church's internal life and its external witness. In turn, he showed how each of these two facets of the Church's existence incurs its own corresponding threats to the Church's well-being. Luke's treatment of the Samaritan mission is notable in its introduction of a new internal threat - one that has shown itself to be the greatest hazard to the Church's life and mission. That threat is false faith, here manifested in the man Simon the magician. This message examines the dynamics of Simon's pseudo-faith and considers how it has continued to permeate the Church in every place and generation.
