I love to study and have made a point of finding out all there is to know about Early Christianity,how it was founded, and why,what happened after it was established,where it all went wrong, and why Christianity is struggling today.Having been a protestant I can give you its history, and now being one of Jehovah`s witnesses I can give you its history also.

Experience in the area

I have been speaking to people about this for over 30 years so that has given me experience.

What do you like about this subject?

I find it totally exciting,reading about the people and places of the past and how they matter to us in this day and age.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Still more about the past and the people.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Well for instance did you know, the Early christians did not celebrate Christmas, or birthdays?

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Jesus did NOT die on a cross as we are led to believe.
