When I purchased this book I expected the content to be of much greater quality. Instead, I found unsubstantiated statements sprinkled with sarcasm.Throughout this book Edwards makes many claims of the historical, but not once does he say where he gets his information. A man with his level of education surely knows how to footnote and endnote. Maybe what he says is true, but how are his readers to know?For those who want to understand the early church I suggest readingWill the Real Heretics Please Stand Up: A New Look at Today's Evangelical Church in the Light of Early Christianityby David Bercot.
