The Book of Tobias & Its Historical Narrative

(Published Dec. 2012:  33 pp., approx. 5.5� by 8.5�)

 

Since the Age of Martin Luther, the Book of Tobias has been severely criticized by rationalists who deny the historicity of the narrative contained in it.  In this study, the author responds to the objections against the Book, and defends the historicity of the narrative, on the basis of recent scholarship in the fields of Biblical Studies, History and Archeology. The author also presents reasons why the Book of Tobias, and not the Book of Tobit should be read by all Christians.

30 Principles for the Scientific Study of Scripture

(Published April, 2012:  50 pp., approx. 14.7 cm by 22 cm)

 

A Methodological Refutation of the Documentary Hypothesis, as that hypothesis is promoted by Julius Wellhausen and his disciples. The author proposes in this short book, 30 principles derived from the sciences of theology, philosophy, archeology and cultural anthropology, as well as those of the general scientific method, which when applied to the question of the authorship of the first five books of the Bible, show clearly to what extent the Wellhausen theory is not in harmony with an authentic scientific methodology, nor with the Rule of the Faith. In the Appendix the author proposes a New paradigm for the explanation of the formation of the Pentateuch, founded upon the perennial testimony, that Moses is its real, historical author.
