Summary This book argues the Church Fathers cannot be doctrinal authorities because they wrote after the Great Falling Away had begun in the apostles' lifetime. It portrays the post-apostolic church as a web of regional assemblies with incomplete Scriptures, traces the rise of bishops against a claimed true succession from John to Polycarp, and recounts the Sabbath-Sunday and Quartodeciman Passover divides (Polycarp, Anicetus, Victor, Polycrates). It shows the Fathers contradicting each other, Origen's Platonic allegory, Greek philosophy's corruption of Hebrew faith, and apostolic succession as a swap of calling for institution. Its verdict: the only true fathers are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and restoration comes through an Elijah voice.
