Author’s Note

I communicate in plain layman’s terms—everyday words people can understand. Rejecting scholarly euphemisms and academic jargon that obscure truth for the sake of modern fragility. My intent is not to impress the academy but to bear faithful witness to the evidence itself. Wherever the record leads, I follow without apology.

This work is devoted primarily to the Body of Christ—a community long denied access to its own historical testimony through centuries of translation, revision, and theological censorship.

My role here is not that of a secular historian, but of a faithful witness—presenting the evidence as one would in court, with reverence toward the inspired Word.
