The Messianic Apostasy: A Synopsis of the Historical Deviation of Pauline Orthodoxy provides a reappraisal of early Pauline theology in the context of 1st-century Palestine and the Hellenistic world in which Paul lived. This scholarly text examines the heretical elements within St Paul's theology in the context of his contemporary Judaism and how the early Christian church of the first three centuries of the Common Era drew its influences from him.

Fakes, Forgeries, and Fictions examines the possible motivations behind the production of apocryphal Christian texts. Did the authors of Christian apocrypha intend to deceive others about the true origins of their writings? Did they do so in a way that is distinctly different from New Testament scriptural writings?

This is Book No. 3, as well as the last book in the collection untitled WHAT IS THERE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN This series represents the fifty years of my life I dedicated to search and investigate literature in order to find everything I could about God and his relationship with man. Throughout these years, I worked with an open mind, putting aside all paradigms and biases, and I discovered very interesting things that led me to a number of conclusions that were surprising even for me. I found out, for instance, that Jesus Christ is the result of a legend created by Saul of Tarsus (Saint Paul) almost three hundred years before Emperor Constantine I (the Great) adopted Christianity as the offici...
