<h2>The Author of Jesus' Words Only (2007).</h2>
<p>The author is a California litigation attorney, in practice for twenty-nine years. In school, he studied Classical Greek and Latin and achieved designation as a Classical Language Scholar. He is also fluent in Spanish and Italian. He graduated law school cum laude in 1981, and was on the board of Law Review.</p>
<p>The author became a Christian at age 15 at a campout of Faith Bible Church on a visit to Florida. Back home in New York City, he was baptized in a Baptist church, and attended a Baptist church for several years. Later, in Los Angeles, he joined the Christian Church for several years and then for 15 years he belonged to a conservative Presbyterian Church. At each church in California, he served as legal advisor. In 1998-2001, the author served as a self-funded missionary abroad in Costa Rica with his wife. They served in an outreach to the very poor in a community known as Las Tablas. In this period, the author was exposed to the Assembly of God/Church of God, and fellowshipped regularly with them. As the author also explains, this is where a sub-group created a home church where Jesus was the Pastor and sole teacher. (For this experience, see<a href="/JWO/jesus-on-church-structure.html"> Jesus on Church Structure</a>.) Now back in California, the author first attended a Messianic congregation, but now currently fellowships at an Assembly of God church.</p>
<p>A true scholar and prolific author, the author approaches his extensive treatises on spiritual faith from a truly unique perspective. As an accomplished attorney for many years, he advances each <em>quest-to-substantiate</em> through exhaustive research, meticulous analysis, thorough presentation of opposing points-of-view, and indisputable verifications in defining his own interpretations of Christianity and the Bible. In the end, he presents a faithful answer, providing an incomparable bottom-line truth of what is conveyed in the inspired Bible. (K. Atred.)</p>
