    The 1931 "Trail of Blood" booklet is missing the "and separation ethically and ecclesiastically."

    So, Dr. Weeks was his own man. With his Spiritual Kinship Theory of baptist History, he didn't agree with the Trail of Blood Chain Link Theory.

    I studied Baptist History and Polity from Dr Weeks at Pillsbury. Then in grad school Advanced polity and Advance distinctives. He was also my adviser on my Master's Thesis. The Trail of Blood (baptist successionist or Landmark nonsense) was not endorsed by Dr Weeks because of its many errors and leaps of logic. So many that booklet claimed to be Baptist would be unrecognizable today.

    His details of the distinctives showed him a product of fundamental Baptists of post-depression when ecumenical movement began its corrupting influence on Baptists and where the falling ethical standards of the 1950's. SO needed still today

    What I personally concluded from the "Trail of blood," was genuine Baptist successionism was the New Testament. And the handed down New Testament documents happen to be the sole Apostolic authority that Christianity has from the first century churches.
