I have had a love for studying Biblical Theology and Alternative Branches or Christianity for the past twelve years. I have read everything I could find from the Early Church Father's and History of its inception through the early years of being persecuted on into the years where the Roman Empire changed to a Catholic Empire and up to modern times. I enjoy reading about Gnosticism and the early power struggles between Christian denominations as well as the strife with the Roman and Jewish communities of the day. I hope to be able to shed some light from history on these topics and I would welcome any suggestions on future articles that would be of interest in this field.
