It is a paradox that in Britain, after thirteen years of compulsory schooling, many young people emerge without a secure grasp of either English grammar or basic arithmetic, while at the same time official figures tell us that one in five schoolchildren suffers from a “probable mental disorder.” Adults fare little better: rates of anxiety, depression, and mixed emotional disorders are climbing steadily, particularly in the working class.
From the fall of Rome to the Inquisition, from Nazi Germany to today’s populist tensions, the same dynamics emerge: fear, conformity, and the abuse of authority. My aim is not only to trace these echoes in history but to ask what they reveal about our present age—and about ourselves.
Stonehenge, Giza, the Bible, and Atlantis point to a lost civilisation. Were we shaped by superior beings — escapees of a forgotten age?
Jesus teaches by embodied example and image; Paul recasts that ethic conceptually: “in Christ,” by the Spirit, for life together.
The Gospels distilled into ten principles of agápē—mercy, humility, forgiveness, generosity, and justice—beyond fear and superstition.
Alex Proyas’ Knowing (2009) blends mystery, disaster spectacle, and biblical symbolism, ending in a stunning vision of apocalypse and renewal.
The attempt to read the New Testament as history has occupied scholars, believers, and sceptics for centuries. From the moment the printing press placed the Bible into ordinary hands, the question has been asked again and again: What really happened? The search often becomes obsessive, because the stakes are not merely academic. To discard the message of the Bible is to risk being cast into “outer darkness,” as Jesus himself put it. To accept it uncritically is to surrender reason to myth.
A reflection on Jesus, Paul, and the problem of dogma. Against original sin and externalised divinity, this essay argues that nurturing human potential and living within mystery are more important than rigid belief.
The “Holy Spirit” of Christianity is not a continuation of the Hebrew ruach but a mistranslation that became a doctrine. What began as the roar of wind in the Old Testament turned into an abstraction in Luke–Acts — and finally into a third “person” of the Trinity.
Jesus and Paul emphasized that the state is temporary and subordinate to a higher, internal moral law rooted in love. Jesus taught that true sovereignty lies within, advocating for love over coercion. Paul affirmed spiritual law in the heart, highlighting that love fulfills the law, making secular authority provisional and ultimately secondary.
