Yasinta,
Hi. I'm the author. Do you think you could put that on Amazon? I could use a few more reviews, especially well-considered ones.

Many have tried but failed to bring down the Bible, and this latest attempt won't be the last, but however it is just a drop in the mighty ocean of criticism the Bible have faced.
Certainly it cannot and will not mark the and of the bible which has overcome many persecution and régimes.

There are many sources that disprove points in all religious texts if you choose to look at them at a certain angle. Many choose not to inquire about these 'unholy' sources because they do not want to test their faith and others do not look into these things because they simply believe their faith is above all else. So, no. I do not believe it will end Christianity, but I could not tell whether that was the author's aim.

No, it wasn't. But it wouldn't break my heart if it did. My intention is to see that NEW evidence -- the gnostic period evidence, as early as any -- is understood for what it is: the source material for the Judas Betrayal of Christ narrative. You do what you want after that.

Although the author has thoroughly researched the topics and provided evidence, I do not believe that the book will put an end to Christianity. The ideas presented will generate discussion and additional research, but there are so many Christians in the world who will not be convinced. One book will not put an end to Christianity.

No religion has ever crumbled based on views/ opinions/ research enumerated in a book. The book might trigger religious introspection, but not faith of those religious in any way.

I've never found that a single book, save a few religious texts, could drastically change the minds of strict followers of a religion. Most religions indoctrinate young and it's very hard to de-wire the programming, for lack of a better word, that results from years of indoctrination. As much research as was done, it seems unlikely that an unpopular view (and it certainly would be among hardcore Christians) would change the minds of steadfast believers.

However, there is hope in any novel to change the mind of a few, or open their Linda to different possibilities. Believers don't necessarily have to agree with the points found here; but if they allow the questions to enter their minds, they may be led to more questions that will either steady their faith or make them doubtful.

Lol no, there's a million more such controversial books but nothing has been able to put an end to christianity. It's about faith more than its about logic.

The purpose of the book isn't to end Christianity. It is to point out new information that we all need to hear.

I was one of those Christians, and I changed my mind as I became aware of all the information bearing on the Bible. - the Author

This question is a distraction. The point of the book is that important NEW information has become available to us. It was misrepresented by scholars and I corrected that.

Scientology and the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints survive and prosper despite being based on obvious frauds. Many books, movies, TV Programs, etc. have exposed their ridiculous origin stories.

Christianity is based on miraculous claims from 2000 years ago that while highly improbable to non-believers are much harder to refute at this point. While it has largely died in Northern and Western Europe it remains strong as ever in the USA, South America, etc.
