Publications

"The New Temple"

This 239 page theological text in PHD style brings attention to what he outlines as a neglected but important image of the Church, namely God's new temple. The author still rates this publication as his favourite of the two, being more original and in his words "important". The book makes frequent discussion of the Greek and Hebrew of quoted verses from the Bible and makes reference to the author's own translation of the New Testement, which is so far unpublished.

"The Millennium and the Book of Revelation"

1999, 99 pages

This second book is the author's thoughts on the Book of Revelation's cryptic use of the Greek language it was written to expose misconceptions, and explores in particular the theological concept of the Millennium.
