“Over the last two thousand years or so, the Christian faith has had more than its fair share of enemies.” I write “When Jesus was born, whatever date that may have been, Herod sought to have the Christ-child put to death. In the Gospels, the authors record how many attempts were made on Jesus’ life, only one was granted. All Four Gospels agree that Jesus was crucified and died. From the human perspective, Jesus had been executed for proclaiming Himself King. All other accusations against Him failed. In Jerusalem, at an ancient execution site outside the city walls, Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to a cross and died. This is historical fact.

To all intents and purposes, the story should have ended there, but it didn’t. The Gospels claim that Jesus came alive again and remained on earth for a period of forty days.”

The above words are a quote from my new upcoming book “The Divine Saviour in the Dark Light of Modern Critical and Sceptical Scholarship” a book that objects to the many speculative criticisms made by sceptical scholars over recent years. For those who do not know, sceptical and critical scholars are those who doubt the authenticity of the Bible and are often very vocal about it.

In my book I explore the history of the Bible and offer proofs in defence of the historicity of the Scriptures and I believe the work can be a valuable resource for many Christians who believe in the infallibility of the divine word.

Now that I have completed my documentary series on St Paul and the Greek Islands, “The Divine Saviour in the Dark Light of Modern Critical and Sceptical Scholarship” will be available soon.
