Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting Tradition on Trial challenges the commonly-held beliefs that the Son of God was resurrected on either the first day of the week or the Sabbath day by comparing three popular Bible versions with literal translations of the relevant ancient Greek texts, thus enabling the reader to clearly discern where and how the Scriptures have been altered to accommodate these doctrinally inspired interpretations. It is supported by both astronomical calculations and historical evidence and identifies Jewish customs that no longer appear in the popular versions, which are a valuable aid in determining the correct context of key passages.
