The So-Called Saintly Fathers Of The Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162894102)

The So-Called Saintly Fathers of the Faith is a book written by Joseph Wheless that challenges the traditional beliefs surrounding the early Christian Church and its leaders. The book argues that many of the so-called ""saintly fathers"" of the faith were not actually saintly at all, but were instead corrupt, power-hungry individuals who manipulated and distorted the teachings of Jesus for their own gain.Wheless argues that figures such as Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory of Nyssa were responsible for the suppression of women, the persecution of non-Christians, and the establishment of a rigid hierarchy within the Church. He also argues that many of the Church's doctrines, such as the concept of original sin and the idea of eternal damnation, were not actually taught by Jesus himself but were instead invented by these early Church leaders.The book is a critical examination of the history of the Christian Church and its leaders, and challenges readers to question long-held beliefs and assumptions about the origins of the faith. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of religion in shaping human society.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Forgery in Christianity: A Documented Record of the Foundations of the Christian Religion, by Joseph Wheless.
