Between July 12th 2019, the date I created my Academia.edu profile, and August 24th 2024, I
have published 3,191 pages on Thomas and related (excluding Koepke and this paper), and an
additional 1,092 pages of Discussion content - please consult the series and descriptions given
below in order to get a brief overview.
At the end of 2024 I published “some left-over research” in five papers under the section Raw
Research, two of which are forthcoming at the moment – another +/- 150 pages altogether
Amazon
Gospels, Epistles, Old Testament - the order of books according to Jesus Chri st
(Kindle, paperback, hardcover), December 24th 2023
The culmination of all my research, that demonstrates that Chrestianity originated in Egypt, in
Coptic – after which it came to be forcefully changed into Christianity, by Romans. The NT and
the LXX, as well as the entire NHL, Patristics, Roman historians and earliest Christian
manuscripts are called to the stand, and they all attest to the concept of an Anointed one
developing long after the four Christian gospels had been published. Thomas stands at the origin
of it all, even though it has nothing to do with any of it.
Indeed, the order of books is gospels, epistles, Christian LXX; 277 pages
