From the article: “In this paper I attempt to answer these questions, at least in part, and show a high probability for the proposition that a group of “Former-day Saints” existed within the early Jewish Christian milieu.”

He is kidding, right? The sources the author uses are taken from heretics (Origen), taken out of context, are questionable historical points (mother in heaven) and show spin rather than actual academic rigor.

As we say in history: “The author selectively chose and misread his sources”.

I cannot imagine this author actually being taken seriously in academia at large.

Errors of Omission and careless thought. Either that or a disorganized mind.

This won’t make 2 minutes.
