For serious biblical scholars of the textus receptus, this book reads like utter nonsense. The author's main premise is that many of Paul's epistles were forged and rewritten in order to meet the needs of the time. His primary method of analysis is comparative, textual criticism which is better suited to fictional literature. He offers no conclusive evidence to prove his claims and just assumes the reader will continue following his thesis with a willing suspension of disbelief. Perhaps, because of this faulty premise, the writing appears disjointed and strung together like a drowning syllogism gasping for air. His efforts are obviously the result of the academic pressure to either publish or perish. You're lucky if you can find it, like I did, in a thrift store for a dollar.
