Modern scholars work from the presumption that Jesus and apostles could not have taught Christianity. So, texts that imply developed doctrine or Church are declared later than apostles. Thus, they discard any evidence that does not fit their theory.

Jesus Christ Divided challenges the scholarly paradigm of the boring Jesus by recovering the evidence that scholars discarded. Within the letters are unobtrusive details that form a web of connections that permit the reconstruction of a chronology of the letters. In chronological order, the letters outline a coherent narrative that proves the authenticity of the letters of the New Testament. Because the story was hidden for 1,900 years, it could not have been manipulated.

"Is Christ divided?" asks Saint Paul, rhetorically. We can answer his question, because the best view of the evidence is the truth.
