He essentially debunks the theory held by some OP historians, like M. Arnold, regarding "remnant" history ... in which some claim OPs have survived throughout each generation .... both theories in my opinion have flaws.
Halls assertions about the subsequent apostasy sounds very much like the Mormons.
He also rehashes a lot of the stuff we already know about the early Pentecostal movement from the OP bias... nothing new, IMO. Nothing you won't find on the net.
