The reader is advised to visit our Internet website to see an extensive list of the books which we have published and are available for sale including, of course, those written or translated by the author of this book. From 1972 to 2003, the author lived in the United States and observed how today's “Christians” worship at their churches and deal with each other.

He was once kept on the mailing lists of five churches in Atlanta, Georgia, so he would be invited on various occasions by these churches, and he responded to most of those invitations in order to study the status of today's Christian community in that part of the world.

This is why he later thought of writing this book which, differently from many others, relies in its contents on first-hand “Christian” references to prove a number of “shocking” facts such as: 1) Christ was not crucified but one of his disciples, who was not sincere in his conviction, was: The name of and details about this disciple are included in this book with complete references.

2.The concept of “the Holy Trinity” was never an original article of faith in Christianity but was introduced into it in the third century A.D. 3) Many of today's “Christian” beliefs were derived from ancient Babylonian, Indian and Persian religions in addition to Greek and Roman mythologies.

4.Christ was not born on December 25th; rather, (8) Dionysius or Bacchus, the Graeco-Roman god of wine, was regarded as the “only begotten son” of Jupiter and was born of a virgin named Demeter (or Semele) on December 25th...! 5) All present day's four biblical gospels of John, Mark, Luke and Matthew do not represent the truth faith of Christ; rather, only the Gospel of Saint Barnabas of Cyprus, who learned directly from Christ, does.

This true Gospel is not recognized by any of today's numerous Churches.
