Indeed there are books to be read. Often, we tend to settle for truth, but what happens when we find out that what we thought was real was only an orchestrated lie. 

Lucianity: The Perverse Religion of Christians by John Byer explicitly reveals hidden truths about the Bible. The book opens our eyes to some unseen reality of the scriptures, which the author dwells on with strong proof. It exposes the hidden deceit of Lucius, especially in the three synoptic Gospels of Jesus Christ and Acts of the Apostles. This is the kind of book you could enjoy as a Christian.

The amazing thing I admire about this book is the portrayal of biblical intelligence. I admire the author's confidence to express his view in the book without guilt or feelings of being criticized by Christians. From the preface, the author writes courageously because his intention is not to impress his reader. But he intends to reveal the truth to anyone who cares to know. His sincerity instills in me an interest to assimilate this book. 

The author brought me to a shock when he stated that the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 and other verses were not that of Jesus. Surprisingly, he has pieces of evidence that he will amaze any reader. All his views were followed with strong evidence because he used "Septuagint" and the "Qumran Text" as references. He thoroughly went through the New Testament and books like Isaiah and others to explain his points.

I love how the author kept me glued to the book. The information in the book was backed up with enough proof. Did Jesus really ascend physically into heaven? The author seems to have a point to prove. I sincerely commend the author's ability not just to capture his reader's attention but also to throw enough light to every point he makes for better understanding.

Furthermore, the analysis in the book was top-notch. I commend the author's style of writing. He uses diagrams, tables, and pictures. For instance, on page 72, the author used a table to present a clear picture of the date of Jesus's birth to his death. This portrays evidence of the author's thorough investigation and research of the Bible. 

As much as I enjoyed Lucianity: The Perverse Religion of Christians by John Byer, I feel many Christians might criticize this book. It kicks again a lot of lies that Christians have taken as the truth. But sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to be a writer. There was nothing I considered a negative point in this book.

I am rating this book 4 out of 4 stars. I found a few errors in the book. It still appeared professionally edited. I will recommend this book to Christians who want to know more about the Bible, especially the New Testament.

I can accept any opinion on any affair with public caracteristics, and, religion is one of them. In example, the Quoran is full of Warriors, no of Saints, the Thorah is called "Pentateuch" because it touch only the first five books of the Old Testament, the African religions are arranged around regional Gods...
The Catholic Church was a cruel machine during the Dark Ages and on top of that, the function of the Vatican during XVII and XVIII Centuries let a lot to desire... But, and always have to be a "but", the only thing I can't accept is that someone plant in front of me "proofs" taken from the actual version of the Bible. There are a "septillon" versions of the Bilble. Every branch of every religion transformed and re-write every gospel while wispering "My Way"... Imaging we have to Jesus bringing the new gospel to a guy inscripto in gold laminates... And this was no so long ago. In the 1960's the prediction of the Last Days came from the Bible... By the arrival of 2000 the voice was: Now is fpr real, we are Doom... The da Vinci Code send Jesus to the area of what is today France with family and everything... Please, stop the gossips... This Book, in my humble opinion is more close to Indiana Jones than to any real thing, religios or not. I want to congratulate to the reviwer Piece Nkem for the elegant treatment of the subjet and keeping every aspect of it professional.

Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley

Post by Bigwig1973 »

I often wondered whether or not the bible was perhaps stolen from someone and then published. I don't have any reason really to believe so, I perhaps just like mysteries! I've never read the entire bible, but the parts I have read seem concise, almost like a shortened version. Maybe this is just me, but often the quotes that I remember are quotes that I find intriguing - things that I haven't yet found an answer to quite yet. Or something that is out of place, maybe. The bible could have however been written with that in mind. It would be not a nice thing for someone to write a fake bible and some things mentioned, like the flood, etc., as far as I know, are backed by science. Regardless, this book seems like it would be very interesting indeed! I'm very glad I read your review on it!

I am open to any point of view on public issues, including religion. For example, the Quoran is full of warriors rather than saints, the Thorah is called the "Pentateuch" since it only covers the first five books of the Old Testament, and African faiths are organized on regional Gods.There are "septillon" variations of the Bilble. Every branch of every religion has changed and rewritten every gospel while whispering "My Way"... Imagine Jesus preaching the new gospel to a guy inscribed with gold laminates... And this was not that long ago. In the 1960s, the Bible predicted the end times... By the year 2000, the voice was: Now is for real; we are Doom.The da Vinci Code sends Jesus to what is now France, along with his family... Please stop the gossip... This book, in my honest opinion, is more akin to Indiana Jones than to anything real, religious or otherwise. I'd want to commend the reviewer, Piece Nkem, on her exquisite approach of the subject while keeping everything professional.I sometimes wondered if the Bible was stolen and then published. I don't have any reason to believe so; maybe I just enjoymysteries! I've never read the entire Bible, but the portions I've read appear brief, almost like a shorter edition. Maybe it's just me, but the quotes that stick with me are often ones that pique my interest - questions I haven't yet answered. Perhaps something out of place. However, it is possible that the Bible was written with this in mind. It would be unacceptable for someone to publish a false bible, yet some of the events depicted, such as the flood, are scientifically supported. Regardless, this book seems to be quite interesting! I'm delighted I read your review on it!
