Was The Traditional Church Right After All? Have you ever heard the other side of the Galileo debate? Did you know that by the time of Christopher Columbus no educated person believed the Earth to be flat? The Trial of Galileo, the dispute over the flatness of the Earth, ancient beliefs concerning eclipses and even the Star of Bethlehem have all been construed to make ancient people appear primitive and superstitious. Often the purpose is to bolster a modern interpretation of the traditional Christian narrative. Yet, Conventional Wisdom is not always correct. Many 'facts' that once challenged Christian tradition are now themselves known to be in error. So, are we left with a story that makes sense? The Time of the Christ not only exposes the flaws in much of this modern conventional wisdom but goes on to put forth a theory that is anything but conventional. Beneath the popular story lay hidden a rational dispute of cosmic proportions. By exploring the mystery of 'time', The Time of the Christ reconstructs an ancient controversy that leads right to the coming of the Messiah. ." you know how to discern the face of the heaven and of the earth: but how is it that you do not discern this time?" - Jesus the Christ
