Bebbington, pub 1995, Routledge (UK), ISBN 0415104645, pg 230,231; 245-249 Alternative Religions: A Sociological Introduction , Stephen J. Hunt, pub 2003, Ashgate Publishing, Ltd; ISBN 0754634108, pg 82,83 and elsewhere. In comparable terms, earlier primitivist movements including the Paulicians, Hussites, Anabaptists, Landmarkists, and the Quakers have been described as examples of restorationism.

While some view all the Church Fathers as unreliable witnesses to the original Apostolic Church. Others assert that the earliest Church Fathers provide proof that the early church believed and practiced as some restorationists do, and present the late Church Fathers' differences as evidence of a gradual or sudden falling away. Common to all restorationism is the belief that the Church Fathers or post-apostolic church leadership changed the beliefs and practices of the early church without authorization.
