Sightless At Dawn

For the first time, the ordinary reader can read about the seamy 400 years in the fabrication of the New Testament, about the rampage of Gospel texts - each a weapon in the barbarous in-fighting between Church Fathers for power and money. Large congregations meant wealth and influence.Leading theological professors from USA gather at a country house in the Fen country of East Anglia. They debate the ferocious fights between different schools of Christianity on the wording of each individual New Testament line.At the country house, scholarly discussions are often heated, but absorbing to listen to.The four Gospels came from the Q-document. What was it?What Jesus might have said no longer mattered. Each Church Father savagely wanted to impose his own personal theology on the New Testament.The Romans said that the Christians were like 'beasts in the arena'.Words like "fabrication," "barbarous," "beasts" and "savage" sound grossly exaggerated. When the reader peruses documents from 100 A.D. to 375 A.D. he will see there is no overstatement.
