His main interest ever
since he remembers, has always been in aspects relating to theology. As this interest was kindled as a youngster, it grew while he was a teenager, and especially into adulthood. However, though having a formal education, he was not led to attend any educational institutions relating to the above subject until in his forties, when
he attended many lectures at the Centre for the Study of Judaism and Jewish/Christian Relations at Selly Oak Colleges in Birmingham, UK.
In 1985 he delved into a personal study of how the order of events surrounding the miracles and parables associated within the texts of the four Gospels specifically and successively related to each other. This study also included verifying the
actual length of Jesus’ ministry. After completing the initial framework of these findings, he realized others would be interested too. He completed this by the end of 1985, and entitled the original manuscript, The Forty-Two Miracles of Jesus Christ.
From the first instance, he embarked on the task in a tremendous mood of enthusiasm and excitement, and as he saw a pattern and plan developing in the way everything in the four Gospels related to each other, became even more excited. With the initial thrill
of these original findings, he rushed to get them onto paper. In so doing, I did not take time to consider some of the critical arguments relating to certain prevalent factors in modern scholarship up to that date. Though subsequently this did not alter any of the main original findings and initial exegesis.
However, while trying to get the manuscript published in its existing form, he was led to send it to an expert in New Testament Studies, Dr. Philip Seddon, of Selly Oak Colleges in Birmingham,
who found it - as written in his reply, “interesting, fascinating and thought provoking.” He suggested if I could not get it published as it stood, he should consider enlarging on it and take into consideration relevant critical scholarship. In so doing, he also put him in touch with a John Wenham (a respected scholar of the
harmonistic critical approach) of Wycliffe Hall, at Oxford University, and some of his books relating to the subject.
Taking his advice, he consequently decided to include and examine the entire texts of the four Gospels (instead of just from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry and up to the crucifixion). Realizing what was needed was as it were - a ‘Gospel’ of the four
Gospels. In other words, one complete Gospel, with the combined texts of the events of the four systematically placed in the successive order (as he had come to see), to which they were naturally relating to, so that the reader could clearly peruse the whole and
complete scenario of the dialogue unfolding as it had subsequently occurred, and without any of the so-called
contradictions associated with the explanations regarding the critical arguments of the text that certain scholars hold in question.
