This book is the result of original and daring research into the archives of our religious heritage and the origins of the biblical tales. Our cross examination of evidence from Archeology, Mythology and Theological Texts has shed new light on the cunning, deceitful and authoritarian nature of biblical Religion. The evidence we have uncovered clearly demonstrates that the biblical patriarchs followed a deliberate, repeated plot!
