About this listen
The Ancient Church Fathers reveals the disciples of the 12 apostles and what they taught, from their own writings. It documents that the same doctrine was faithfully transmitted to their descendants in the first few centuries. It also describes where, when, and by whom, the doctrines began to change.
The Ancient Church Fathers makes it very easy to know for sure what the complete teachings of Jesus and the twelve apostles were. You will learn, from their own writings, what the first century disciples taught about the various doctrines that divide our church today. You will learn what was discussed at the Seven General Councils and why. You will learn about the cults and cult leaders who began to change doctrine and spread their heresy. And you will learn how those heresies became the standard teaching in the medieval church.
A partial list of doctrines the ancient church discussed include: abortion, animal sacrifices, Antichrist, Arminianism bible or tradition Calvinism, circumcision, deity of Jesus Christ, demons, euthanasia, evolution, false gospels, false prophets, foreknowledge, free will, Gnostic cults, homosexuality, idolatry, Islam, Israel's return, Jewish food, laws, Mary's virginity, Mary's assumption, meditation, Nicolaitans, paganism, predestination, premillennialism, purgatory, psychology, Reincarnation, replacement theology, Roman Catholicism, the Sabbath, salvation, schism of Nepos, sin, the soul, spiritual gifts, transubstantiation, yoga, and women in ministry.

Story
Written by Gad, seer of King David, about 1000 BC, this book of prophecy is recommended reading by the Bible, but was never included in the Canon. It was thought to have been lost over three millennia ago. The books of Gad, Nathan, Ahijah, Shemaiah and Iddo are referred to as “The Lost Five.” This long-lost book includes two revealing sermons given by King David. We have a prophecy that outlines the end times beginning with the Rapture, the seven-year tribulation and the establishment of Christ’s millennial reign.

The Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls speak about a mysterious 364-day solar calendar used by the ancients from the time of Creation to about 170 BC. In the second century BC, it was replaced with a lunar calendar by corrupt Jewish priests. Today we know this corrupt lunar calendar as the modern Jewish calendar. In this book we will learn about God’s original solar calendar and discover what prophecies it reveals. Most Christians know that the Jewish festivals teach prophecy. Festivals like Passover, teach about the First Coming of the Messiah.

Story
The Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls speak about a mysterious 364-day solar calendar used by the ancients from the time of Creation to about 170 BC. In the second century BC, it was replaced with a lunar calendar by corrupt Jewish priests. Today we know this corrupt lunar calendar as the modern Jewish calendar. In this book we will learn about God’s original solar calendar and discover what prophecies it reveals. Most Christians know that the Jewish festivals teach prophecy. Festivals like Passover, teach about the First Coming of the Messiah.

Autobiographies from the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Talmud teaches that the ancient patriarchs were all prophets, and that each one of them left testaments for their descendants to read. These contain commands for their children, moral lessons, and prophecy. This legend is not only repeated among the Essene community, but fragments of 20 such records have been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls!

Story
The Epistle of Barnabas is often quoted by the ancient church fathers. Although not considered inspired Scripture it was used to combat legalism in the first two centuries AD. Along with explaining why the Laws of Moses are not binding on Christians, the Epistle explains how many of the Old Testament rituals teach typological prophecy. Subjects explored are: Yom Kippur, the Red Heifer ritual, animal sacrifices, circumcision, the Sabbath, Daniels visions and the end-time 10-nation empire, and the Temple.

Story
Almost lost over the centuries, the Book of Jubilees was retrieved from the Ethiopic language, translated into English by R. H. Charles, and was recently found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. It repeats the events of Genesis and Exodus from Creation to the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. It recounts the events in sets of jubilees (sets of 49 years) and gives additional details such as the fall of the angels, and the creation and destruction of the Nephilim.

Story
The messianic festivals are the Biblical rituals God commanded the ancient Israelites to observe. These ancient rites give great detail on the first coming of the Messiah including the date on which He would arrive, the manner of His death, and the birth of His church. You will also learn of the many disasters that befell the Jews though the centuries on the ninth of Av. The rituals speak of a Natzal, or rapture of believers, and a terrible time called the Yamin Noraim. They give a rather complete outline of this seven-year tribulation period including the rise of a false messiah.

Useful
He shows, by category, a bunch of quotes from the ancient church fathers. I think this type of book might be better to have as an electronic resource or a paperback. He basically does all the legwork so anyone can know what the ANF thought about a given topic. Very useful.

Pastors: Alert!
By and large, American pastors have utterly failed to teach about the early church fathers ( or church history in general) to their flocks on Sunday mornings. Thus they have helped rip out the intellectual guts from the Christian body of Christ, bored smart people nearly to death, and attracted fewer and fewer of the unsaved to their pews.
Pastors continue to preach endlessly about the gospel (the milk of the word) over and over again each Sunday to the very same people who are already saved. Thereby they make Christianity boring. They numb the mind. They drive thinking people away from the church and don’t give enough credit to the abilities of common people.
Pastors should be teaching the kind of material found in this book so believers can see what the disciples of the Apostles said to their disciples! It will excite their minds.
In this book readers will learn what the earliest believers connected to the Apostles brought into church history. You can learn to avoid doctrine mistakes that are very old but are still rampant today even though the Bible is spread abundantly throughout the earth.
Johnson reads from the writings the earliest Christians who were mentored by the disciples of the Apostles! This blows my mind.
I believe churches would grow as unbelievers come to hear these kinds of studies. Instead pastors have embarrassing fads—purpose this and driven that.
Pastors continually feed pablum as the main dish. They provide little to feast upon. It’s tragic.
Along with gutting Christian history from our churches, mainline churches fail to teach a robust method of witnessing. And they need to teach about the Nephilim. Those are the giant offspring of the fallen angels and human females discussed in Genesis 6 and elsewhere. The Star Wars generation around us is ripe to hear a true story of really bad monsters!
Thank you Dr. Johnson.

disappointing, inaccurate, anti-doctrines of grace
This book is mainly the author's views and opinions mixed with those of historic figures. He is not only an Arminian, but a hyper anti-Calvinist. A dispensationalist (I share some of his views on this), but also very pro-Israel. Pre-tribulationist (like myself).
Some quotes from this book:
"Salvation can be resisted by free will" <-- this is his opinion, which I respectfully but strongly disagree with.
"Calvinism bases its whole concept of foreknowledge on one verse of scripture: Acts 2:23". <-- absurd and ignorant.
"[Jehovah's witnesses baptize] in the name of the Father, the archangel Michael, and the spirit lead-organization" <-- this is inaccurate.
"the Critical text has been chose over the received text because, overall, it is shorter" <-- this is absurd and shows great ignorance.

It's informative but misleading and is supremely anti Catholic. I'm not sure what this guy is doing but dividing the church more.

Very Disappointed
A lot of “empty history”, however there is no story here, and there are no answers here. The entire work is a dusty cloud surrounding (hiding) several doctrines, which suddenly appear near the end, such as Dispensationalism, Premillennialism, a Rapture of the church, and 1000 year reign of Christ.
