Publisher's Synopsis
It's a great biblical accuracy test of faith about the history of the galaxy, ancient history, and the present call to religion. It also tests agnosticism and atheism. WATER BEARING FISH is the book you want to have in the laboratory where your faith is tested and your religious views are formed. In this theatricalized memoir, Steefen stands before the Rosetta Stone assessing the history that poured out of this rock after Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered. Biblical history that has supported his faith has now become more accurate. Frank is fascinated with The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. He challenges Steefen to read Paine's analysis of the Bible but Steefen has already taken Freud's challenge to know the testimony of Egypt. Steefen synthesizes into his worldview Paine's criticism and inspiration. He fights to free himself from agnosticism, pessimism, and resistance to have his behavior align with the new knowledge and understanding he has acquired. This journey to maturity takes us to dynasties of Egypt, its ancient literature, the lives of Moses, David, and Jesus, Paris 1795, the Met Museum, the New York Public Research Library, the British Museum, and beyond. * Advisory: This passion contains a few expletives and adult situations. * The author has made available an alternative, an abridged work for all audiences and purposes: "Insights on the Exodus, King David, and Jesus."
