About This Blog


For more than eight years J H Hatfield has been working on the solution to the riddles embedded in Greek scripture, including the four canonical gospels with which so many are familiar from translations.

The outcome is "Why Call Me God?", a book which could change the way you think about God, about the Christian church... even about yourself.

This is because the book explains, perhaps for the first time in centuries, the ancient 'mystery' concealed behind the text of the Christian gospels at the time they were first composed.

In the process it becomes clear that the deeply challenging message of the gospel is not what the Christian churches say; it is something very different.

The author is aware that some people may find this book difficult because of what it points out. But others may be delighted at what they learn.

Using this blog, the author should be able comment on any issues which arise... and will of course seek to clear up any confusion of which he becomes aware.

    After reading the first chapter, I am fascinated by the authors premise. Whenever reading translations of original works, regardless of the type of literature, linguistic mechanisms are almost always lost. Colloquialisms and cultural understandings invariably do not translate. Due diligence in understanding the original intended meaning of a text is quite necessary. However, a fundamental flaw within the construct design may not result in the same conclusions derived from the authors hypothesis. The author heavily relies upon the Septuagint, which is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Is it not a logical fallacy to use a translation of an original text to prove the unreliability of translations? Perhaps the remaining chapters of this book would clarify this flaw. I look forward to reading this book.
