I finished reading this book in 2005. Its topic became current and much more popular with the excitement and criticism of Dan Brown's, The Davinci Code. It is impossible to read this treatise without being capable of opening your mind to alternative Christian theology. The authors shocking theories and heavily documented research has nothing to do with Brown's fanciful novel. But by reading this work you will be viewed by many others in a certain manner. You may be ostracized by Catholics if you speak the unspeakable notions contained therein. You will not be popular with Protestants, either. The work is well-written but sometimes dense. It can be enjoyably read, however, and has the power to make you think that alternatives in religion exist and did exist before the Conclave at Nicea. The question asked is why were these alternatives subjected to such censorship during the mid-first Millenium and subsequently so fiercely prosecuted through the Middle Ages up until the present time. Definitely worth your attention.
