At 7:00 pm on March 31, 2025, Senator Cory Booker began a record speech against the lawless authoritarianism of the administration of President Donald J. Trump. The speech was the longest in the history of the US Senate, twenty-five hours and five minutes, exceeding the previous record of Senator Strom Thurmond, who had filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Ironically, a black man had risen to become a senator and to defeat that ignominious record. The purpose of this display, entirely performative but also extraordinary and meaningful, was to awaken Americans to the dangers to democracy ...

When I was an Emergency 9-1-1 Operator, I would infrequently answer calls from very young toddlers, three or even a bit younger. Usually, they would be playing on the phone, but we were trained to be sure that there was no emergency. Sometimes, they did have an emergency. On one occasion, I asked the child to let me talk to their mother, and the child said happily that their mother was there. I asked again if I could talk to her, but the child said she was asleep. Turned out that the mother was unconscious on the bathroom floor. Answering the phone promptly is the most important thing that we ...

Discoveries from the historical studies of Jesus Christ Divided and The Conspiracy of the Christ opened an opportunity to examine the original theology of Christianity.

Sometimes what we already know is the greatest obstacle to learning. Christian spirituality is a perfect example of this. The gospels do not just tell the story of Jesus. They are masterful works designed to be read on many levels. Perhaps, the most important level is what St. Paul called the "spiritual." Hidden in plain sight within the gospels and other early Christian writings are clear instructions for attaining spiritual power. The Secret Knowledge of Jesus by Andreas lifts the veil from our eyes by approaching Jesus' teachings from a new and different perspective. This perspective, howev...

Breakthrough work on understanding the New Testament and the history of early Christianity.Modern scholars work from the presumption that Jesus and apostles could not have taught Christianity. So, texts that imply developed doctrine or Church are declared later than apostles. Thus, they discard any evidence that does not fit their theory, all but seven letters of Saint Paul.Jesus Christ Divided challenges the scholarly paradigm of the boring Jesus by recovering the evidence that scholars discarded. Within the letters of Saint Paul are unobtrusive details that form a web of connections that per...

My desire to gain attention for Jesus Christ Divided inspired me to write a memoir of my process in producing that book, but once I began writing the book quickly expanded to something that I had not anticipated. The Conspiracy of the Christ developed as my life story with the focus on my spiritual journey, ultimately merging with my scholarly journey, and reporting the history of earliest Christianity. The book only works because it is literal and logical as I am. I give a descriptive overview of all the useful texts and a bibliography of books that are helpful to the reader in further resear...
