The so-called "Recovery" was the foundation for Lee's understanding of church history. Beginning with Luther, starting at ground zero, supposedly the truth was progressively recovered until the peak, or consummation, was reached. I have rejected Lee's version of church history in its entirety. It was entirely self-serving.
Lee's so-called "high peak" (
God became man to make man god.) was never in the Bible in the first place, so how could it get recovered? Lee skirted that problem by citing a quotation from Athanasius. Thus what he proposed was a "recovery" of the church fathers, not of the scripture.
