Struck by a Question, the Journey of Investigation Begins

One evening in 2003, I was reading Genesis 18, where God and two angels visit Abraham disguised as men. The emphasis on abundance and reverence, rather than the extraordinary nature of the encounter, made me wonder if the original story depicted a prominent person instead of a god. After re-reading the story while visualizing Abraham’s Lord as a king, I felt there was more to this story than met the eye.

Publication of “Quiproquo sur Dieu,” a Historical Essay (in French)

At a time when the internet wasn’t as developed, it took me six years to piece together the key arguments. However, because I relied on translations instead of the Masoretic Hebrew text, my work wasn’t taken seriously and was deemed insufficiently scrutinized. Additionally, I was advised to explain how the scholarly consensus had developed and to provide proper rebuttals for commonly accepted arguments.

Master of Theology at University of Montreal

My critics were justified. Since my claims were “extraordinary,” I needed to provide “extraordinary” evidence. I enrolled in a Master of Theology program at a prestigious institution to study Biblical Hebrew, Historical-Critical methods, and Narrative Analysis. Armed with this new academic background, I expanded the scope of my analysis and developed a comprehensive evolutionary model on the origin of monotheism.

Publication of “The Covenant,” a Historical Essay

I was excited to publish “The Covenant,” which was far more academic in nature, citing hundreds of respected authors in the field. However, I was disappointed by the few exchanges I had online and, being very busy with my day job, did a poor job promoting the book. People didn’t seem to get it, which further made me doubt the quality of my own work. What if I was the one fooling myself?

Publication of “To Be Done with Sodom,” a Non-Fiction Comic

Noticing that people don’t read much and that the topic is quite technical with a lot to absorb, I decided to present the case using a non-fiction comic. This format shows how the secular plot evolves naturally while still closely tracking the biblical narrative. Comics have been successfully used to explain complex ideas, and Alexandra Filipek did a fantastic job illustrating the story as I believe it truly unfolded.

Publication of “The Everlasting Quid Pro Quo,” a Historical Essay

This is the revamped and most complete edition of my work. My argument always focused on a deified overlord aiming to subdue the people of Sodom to control a critical trade route. However, I realized I had not thoroughly investigated how trade routes were managed or how the cult of the dead impacted land inheritance during the Bronze Age. I needed to explore these practices in greater detail to see if they supported my argument.

Work in Progress: “Shechem Stele,” a Historical Novel

I do not pretend to be a writer, and even less a storyteller, but as I continue to look for ways to disseminate my research, I am currently exploring the genre of historical fiction. I am writing a novel that combines action, love, drama, and, of course, the essence of my work. I hope it will help more people become aware of my discoveries and their potential impact on the world.
