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.
