"This book is about the Christian Bible. It looks at how folks 2,000 years ago tried to explain the missing body of Jesus and the reports of subsequent sightings after his crucifixion, all having regard to the prevailing belief systems of the Greeks, Romans and Jews. In a very easy-to-read way, the book explains how Christianity was ""bound to happen,"" and why it is here to stay."

Tommy holds a BSc, an MBA and a law degree. He has been a math/science teacher and a realtor, and for thirty-five years he was a corporate solicitor. Tommy's favourite undergrad course was a classical studies elective and it kickstarted a lifetime interest in ancient affairs. The Greeks. The Romans. The ancient Jews. And, of course, the early Christians. Tommy's science background makes him question magic and miracles. His MBA helps him see the eagerness of many ancients to make a buck. And his practice of law has given him a great donkey-dung sniffer. That sniffer did a lot of tingling when Tommy first read the Bible. These practical credentials have prompted Tommy to seek simpler explanations for the emergence of Christianity.
