Description

A staunchly anti-Christian text that calls into question the legitimacy of religious claims by the “Apostolic Fathers,” including St. Clement, St. Barnabas, St. Ignatius, and others. From the first chapter: “When, moreover, priests assume authority over conduct on the ground that their Church or their doctrines were God-given, it becomes necessary to investigate how that Church and those doctrines were built up; and if we find superstitious fooleries and pious frauds mixed therein, it may do something to abate our confidence in priestly pretentions.”
