A new approach to the early history of
Christianity to the fourth century.
Beginning with a revealing study of
God's purpose for the Jews and for
mankind. It explores in depth the origins
of religion and the virtually unknown
(unmentioned) conflict between the
destiny of Rome from Virgil and the
destiny of the Jews from the Bible. A
detailed examination of the civil laws of
the Jews is contrasted with traditional
religions, giving remarkable new insights
into the beliefs and practices of the first
Hebrew Christians.
It explores the unlikely conversion of
Constantine, the surprising true origin of
his amazing sign and it's role in the
restoration of his church. To understand
Constantine and his church, we need to
understand Virgil. The book then
questions how far the church adopted
Christianity as the earliest disciples knew
it, and how far the early faith was
knowingly replaced by Constantine's
religion, and why. It explores the conflict
between discipleship and church as two
distinct systems, one chosen by Jesus,
the other a long standing Roman
tradition. It re-examines the life and
teachings of Jesus based on a Hebrew
perspective and the relevance of
Christianity today and provides an
outline for tomorrow based on the
hitherto unknown teachings of the early
disciples. It also takes a compelling new
look at the question of the divinity of
Christ in the light of Hebrew beliefs in
contrast to the influence of Virgil.
Along the way, the book discusses a
number of crucial themes, such as the
real identity of Joseph Arimathea, the
other name of John the Baptist, and the
possibility that Jesus was known by
several different names in his own time.
It also reviews (and answers fully) the
new persecution of Christianity, the
church Ð state question, and the many
new theories and criticisms aimed
against Christianity in the post modern
world.
