Keys Over the Christian World

by Scott Butler, John Collorafi

Twenty years in the making, Butler, and Collorafi finally come out with their one-of-a-kind book on the papacy, from its beginnings under St. Peter to the year 800 AD. But this is not just another book on the history of the papacy. This is the only book ever produced on the papacy that draws its information from the original documents that are painstakingly translated into English by the authors, many of which have never appeared in English in any form. Sources include those from the original Latin, Greek, Chaldean, Syriac, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian and others. With these sources, the authors weave together a tapestry of the papacy that shows, without the shadow of a doubt, that the Church recognized the papacy from its humble beginnings in 33 AD throughout the first millennium to be the God-ordained supreme authority over the whole Church, from east to west. This book, in its original drafts, has already convinced many dissidents to join the Catholic Church since the evidence in the book is so overwhelming.

This is a very good, but very frustrating book. A true labor of love, it is a massive undertaking that the authors should be commended for. The problem is that it’s a self-publication and desperately needs some work that only a commercial publisher could have provided. The book is billed as a “reference work” but the indexes and organization make this hard to use for that purpose. Yet as a non-fiction work on the subject, there is little narrative that links the various quotes together. The work could also have used some professional type setting to help with readability.

All-in-all, a marvelous comprehensive coverage of the topic. It is my hope that they come out with a new edition that has been professionally edited and organized.

jI cannot find this book anywhere online for sale. All suggested book seller sites do not have it, nor do the popular sites such as ebay or amazon.

beautiful work. quite surprised this level of effort has not been published on a larger level / by proper press.
blessings be upon the Holy Father, the Vicar of Jesus Christ, the Bishop of Rome, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Servant of the Servants of God, and death to all his enemies.
