The Author of Jesus' Words Only (2007).

The author is a California litigation attorney, in practice for thirty years. In school, he studied Classical Greek and Latin and achieved designation as a Classical Language Scholar. He is also fluent in Spanish and Italian. He graduated law school cum laude in 1981, and was on the board of Law Review.

The author became a Christian at age 15 at a campout of Faith Bible Church on a visit to Florida. Back home in New York City, he was baptized in a Baptist church, and attended a Baptist church for several years. Later, in Los Angeles, he joined the Westwood Hills Christian Church for several years and then for 15 years he belonged to a conservative Presbyterian Church. At each church in California, he served as legal advisor.

In 1998-2001, the author served as a self-funded missionary abroad in Costa Rica with his wife. They served in an outreach to the very poor in a community known as Las Tablas. In this period, the author was exposed to the Assembly of God/Church of God, and fellowshipped regularly with them. As the author also explains, this is where a sub-group created a home church where Jesus was the Pastor and sole teacher. (For this experience, see Jesus on Church Structure.) Now back in California, the author first attended a Messianic congregation, but now currently fellowships at an Assembly of God church.

A true scholar and prolific author, the author approaches his extensive treatises on spiritual faith from a truly unique perspective. As an accomplished attorney for many years, he advances each quest-to-substantiate through exhaustive research, meticulous analysis, thorough presentation of opposing points-of-view, and indisputable verifications in defining his own interpretations of Christianity and the Bible. In the end, he presents a faithful answer, providing an incomparable bottom-line truth of what is conveyed in the inspired Bible. (K. Atred.)

P.S. The author's name appears nowhere on this website or on this page for a reason. You will find his name on his books -- out of necessity. He explained to me the reason:

"I want to keep the focus upon Jesus and not upon the author. The book after all is Jesus Words Only. None of the gospel writers originally attached their names either to the gospels. The church added their names much later. (Same with the books of the Original Testament, e.g., Genesis, Deuteronomy, etc.) John in his own gospel never utters his own name! The apostles apparently wanted to keep the focus upon Jesus, and keep it off of themselves. So I am not trying to be secretive, but I believe the love of the Lord Jesus motivated the apostles to keep their names off their own writings as much as possible. I feel the same way. That is also why all materials are free online. I am not trying to make a name for myself." (K.Atred)
