review 1: This is a fantastically researched book - and, notwithstanding the length - is a wonderfully brisk read as well. I found the historical data compelling; the prophetic implications persuasive; the existential reality forthcoming! Horn deals with the prophesy of the popes, and digs around a lot of conjecture, which he rightly points out to, but also deals with a lot of historical fact concerning the Catholic Church, the Vatican, and more. As time trickles near the end of the age, every Christian should read this book, whether you find all of Horn's conclusions tenable or not, the implication so of this book cannot be passed up.Brent McCulley (10/26/13)
review 2: This book is very well researched. With that said, I am not entirely sure that its conclusions are co... morempletely viable. the writer has a tendency to extrapolate from the general to the particular in various cases. When dealing with history, this can both be dangerous and reveal a particular bias. One case where he does this, for example, is in supposing that the Vatican probably does have a great deal of Second Temple artifacts because they have been less than honest about other issues concerning the Jews. The reasoning, if not completely fallacious, is worrisome. While I do not doubt that the Vatican treasures are far beyond what we might otherwise imagine,especially in regard to rare volumes, I tend to take the Vatican's response in 1998 that they never had the temple treasures. these arguments, while detailed and scholarly, have been made elsewhere and seem cogent.That being said, I am fascinated by the way in which the author approaches different issues. To be fair, much of this is incredibly boring to the non-scholar, but manages a very reasonable argument in each case. I am truly anxious to see where the book goes in the next 400 pages.___________________Having completed this book, one should know that it is somewhat exhausting to read carefully. While I do not agree with the author's conclusions in many places (and this is difficult when one recognizes that a great deal of the latter book depends on earlier argu7ments, I have to admit my complete admiration for the author and his topic. The greatest difficulty I have is that the author has many different points to make instead of just one. Thus one must almost agree in some places, disagree in others and allow further time to consider others. The author makes an excellent an almost exhaustive argument for the coming Petrus Romanus. If he arrives according to even a modicum of the data which the author argues, it will be no less awe inspiring. On the other hand, if 2013 comes without him making an appearance, then perhaps the arguments are in error. We shall see. less
