I need your help...
I am new to this forum, and must confess, I've never been very good at this sort of thing. The reason I'm writing is that I've written a book. It was originally accepted by an academic publisher but the Seminary I work for part time (Nashotah) could not come up with the necessary subvention moneys to proceed with publication. Therefore, I had to bear the entire cost myself, which means I can afford very little publicity.
The book, The Time of the Christ, is essentially an apology for the accuracy of Christian history and Tradition. The book is important to me because I believe I've genuinely discovered something totally new.
The research has taken me over 10 years. I began by trying to discover 'the other side' of Christian controversy when I realized there was an entirely different story than what was commonly told by modern history.
The upshot is this: I discovered that the Star of Bethlehem account in the Bible was over translated. The account actually is using Greek navigational/chronological terms, markers to give a precise termination point to the Prophecy of Daniel and the coming Messiah. They are instructions for calibrating and 'orienting' a navigational 'time clock' called an astrolabe. By using eclipses, modern astronomy, and corrected translations, I was able to connect the prophecy back to the Feast of Esther it was this feast that served as a yearly remembrance of the original prophecy, of which the Last Supper was the final observance (so to speak) and the prototype for the Eucharist. This brings into light a correction of the calendars, a validation of the history, a basis for tradition/liturgy, and challenges the notions that Christmas and Easter were really modeled on pagan holidays. The book exposes a scientific/philosophical debate that is underlying the scriptures. I realize this might be a stretch for many people but the story has an uncanny way of holding together, the proof of which is that the liturgy of the Feast of Esther does seem to be the exact episodes of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter.
The importance of this is this: if I am right, a more precise dating brings several things into light, imagine going to an important event at the wrong time everything would be missing. The right time, everything shows up, not just the facts, but things you probably didn't think of. For example, I can give a very probable precise date for the Crucifixion. The fact that Christ refuses to drink the gall is very important. Gall was the sacred drink of Mithraism, a religion that had all but died but was still being practiced by Roman soldiers. The Mithraic name of gall (absynthe) was 'hamayun', the name being derived from 'Haman', the evil person at the Feast of Esther. Absynthe was typically carried by Roman soldiers as medicinal morphine might be today.
The book is sort of an anti-da Vinci code and is filled with odd trivia and interesting facts, but, alas, it seems to be getting no traction at all. As you may know the internet runs on 'clicks' the more clicks a site or product gets, the higher chance it will appear on search engines. A private person with a book has little chance these days against the sophisticated marketing techniques and porn traffic of the internet. I would greatly appreciate it if members of this forum would check it out on Amazon, etc.
Thanks for you consideration - any help would be welcome. I will also post this in the apology section.
