This book leaves few denominational toes untrodden. An objective
review of Church history demonstrates that Christian theology soon
went astray from that laid out in the New Testament, as the Fathers
of the Church lost their understanding of sound interpretive
principles. Theology began to be supplemented, then co-opted and
corrupted, by Greek philosophy: namely, Middle Platonism, then
Neoplatonism, and later Theurgy. The external, heterodox doctrines
derived from Pagan philosophy were embraced by the Eastern Church,
carried into the Western Church, repeatedly revived in the Medieval
Church in the form of Scholasticism, Mysticism, and Catholic Church
dogma, and re-popularized by modern theologians to the present day.
The negative influence of these heterodoxies is manifest in modern
elements of Mysticism, Contemplative Prayer, Sacramentalism,
Sacerdotalism, the so-called New Theology, and emphasis on
Universalism, Liberation, Unity, Mystical Union, apotheosis,
divinization, and "spiritual formation."
