Synopsis

Faith to Truth follows one man’s odyssey from a Catholic childhood, through charismatic evangelical fervor, to a systematic re-examination of the beliefs he once defended without question. After a painful divorce in 2006, he finds refuge in an Assembly of God church, immerses himself in worship and intensive Bible study, and falls in love with the community.

As his study deepens, he confronts the origins and structure of biblical narratives — comparing the flood story to the Epic of Gilgamesh, mapping the development of the Hebrew Scriptures, and engaging modern scholarship. Patterns of borrowing, reinterpretation, and internal tension begin to surface, while personal crises — failed miracles, unanswered prayers, and theological dead ends — turn intellectual doubt into existential questioning.

Moving from memoir to historical-critical analysis, the book asks whether the New Testament has been read apart from its original audience and covenantal context, and how inherited interpretations may have reshaped its message over time. In Part V, Beyond the Fold, the author turns to the psychological and practical realities of life after certainty.

Join the author in questioning inherited truths and rediscovering Scripture’s roots.
