I have followed the discussions of this book for thousands of posts over several forums and have never seen anybody point out any substantial inaccuracy in the book.

The title and tone are offensive to many people.

If you are interested in the history of the oneness movement, then you will not be disappointed.

Am I right in asuming that alot of what is in the book has to do with the last split in the UPC ???
I am always interested in church history.[

Yes, there is a focus on the AS resolution, but the major focus is the merger of 1945.

Thank you for letting me know about the book, I think that I will buy it, sounds very educational and interesting.

Stick with THE BOOK and you will find water baptism with the name being spoken JESUS! Over you for salvation.
Holy Ghost infilling with the initial signs of speaking in tongues, and outer and inner separation from carnal ungodliness.

Please don't take offense, just be careful what you call history.

You have to keep in mind that these men that Fudge wrote about were Trinitarians who came into information that was always there. It wasn't a New Light, because the light was always on. These men saw water baptism in the name of Jesus only, and then they studied the Godhead and found out that God in three persons was a doctrine that had evolved through the ages and that it was incorrect. As these men came together to study the word there were some who were on learning curves and others who had found what they were looking for and moved no further.

Some didn't want to leave fellowships and others wanted to return and justified those notions.

I applaud your study of history, but please make sure you study out all the information you can get your hands on. :)
