Christian Carvajal was born and raised in a fundamentalist faith, Jehovah's Witnesses. Later, he railed against religion as a dedicated atheist. Now he identifies as a sympathetic agnostic, hungry for higher meaning but equally passionate in defense of higher reason. His first novel, Lightfall, was a satirical thriller about the End of the World as seen from a colorful Baptist town in Oklahoma. This new nonfiction work includes clearheaded research and insights into the language, content, and veracity of many key Bible accounts, including the Garden of Eden story, Noah's flood, five beloved Gospels of Jesus and associated Christology, and the book of Revelation. A bonus chapter considers the evidence for evolution vs. that of intelligent design. Modern Christians and atheists alike will find common ground as the myths and misunderstandings of centuries past fall away.
