Byas’s review is fair and a good read but in breaking my own rule, (I read some of the comments) I was sickened and broken hearted to read the stultifying and wildly inaccurate statements from “Christian” members of the Judgement Pornosphere™.

That’s not a theological “opinion” or “belief” either, that is a historical fact that even the Church of England now admits but was widely known by contemporary authors as well modern scholars as I show in the upcoming The English Reformation.
