Book Synopsis

Author Ahmed Osman contends that the roots of Christian belief spring not from Judaea but from Egypt. Comparing the Old Testament with ancient Egyptian records, he shows that major characters of the Hebrew scriptures and major tenets of Christianity--the One God and the Trinity--are Egyptian in origin.
