The Miracle Free Gospel is a piece of fiction, written as non-fiction, in such a way that anyone reading it would almost immediately understand that it is not based on a legitimate archaeological find. It is presented this way in the hope of provoking thought about the way the New Testament came to be composed and collected.
For nearly a decade I have had a real passion for the ancient Judeo-Christian literature, both canonical and non-canonical. I have found the traditions fascinating, particularly as they related to Pseudo-Gospels; writings falsely attributed to The New Testament heroes in order to give their message credence.
It is my hope that The Miracle Free Gospel, in its own small way, might spark interest in these traditions that mean so much to me. It has been no surprise to me that, as I have shared this book, not all of the feedback has been as positive as I would hope that it would be. To some degree, I suspect this is because there is an element of plausibility to the back story that is undeniable. But this is not an attack on the Gospel, this is simply an invitation to ask, "What if?" and see where the dialogue goes from there.
