It is hoped that the accumulated information in this Outline will help all studious persons. Relatedly,
much history has been distorted, as noted. A revisionist historian has been needed for a long time. This research has been partially conducted with that in mind in order to sweep aside Catholic propaganda, falsity, and slanders. It is high time to sweep aside some of the perversion of
history. Reverend Arnold has produced a more reliable version of Apostolic clrronology. The Apostolic History Outline has been designed to increase your knowledge concerning Apostolic Christian history.
