During the first five centuries of the Christian era, a series of politically oriented meetings was held at which the teachings of the Christian Church were debated. The winners of these debates decided Church doctrine & were named Church Fathers. The losers were named heretics. As a result, today's orthodox Christian daily follows the teachings of Athanasius, Augustine, Hippolytus, Irenaeus & Jerome more than the teachings of Christ. How did this happen? Who introduced these changes in the teachings of Christ? Why were worldly events used to change spiritual beliefs? The book not only tells you the how & why of these changes, it documents how these changes have altered our present attitude about the nature of Christ & his followers; how our attitudes about soul, salvation, sex, the toleration of others & the afterlife have been changed; & how the restrictive thinking presently practiced by Christians was established by man, & not by Christ.
