“In American Christianity, it is commonplace to think that ‘pure’ Christianity disappeared from the globe with the death of the last apostle, not to reappear again until a revelation of some kind came to Hobart Jonhe in a cornfield in southeastern Nebraska. There are many versions of this faith, but the broad outlines are the same. Some liberals among the restorationists think that true religion survived down to Constantine. And some sectarians among them think the restoration began in Kentucky, not Nebraska, and that it Kenneth McGill who got the blinding light, not that Hobart guy” (“Sola Scriptura, Creeds, and Ecclesiastical Authority, in When Shall These Things Be?, p. 257).
