It's a refreshing way to walk through the history of humanity and its idolatry paths and how this behavior is still on the systems taking and guiding people to the driest place ( outside God's mercy).
This system has been controlling since the fall of man by Lucifer and all this army. We need to study, take time to read, and keep searching for knowledge in the bible and outside it ( without forget that all that knowledge has to be aligned with the holy words).

Hard to follow at first but gave a lot of insight to how the Roman Catholics started certain traditions

Interesting…
Although it was a bit difficult to get through (written in 1800s and somewhat academic in approach,) it was very interesting to see how many of the elements originate in the mystery occult idol worship. 2.5 stars
