Breaking the Romans Code

by Michael C. Wood

In Breaking the Romans Code, cryptographer Wood uses the Dead Sea Scrolls to solve a 2000 year old puzzle. The Scrolls were discovered in 11 different caves. All scrolls were immediately published except for the contents of one cave--#4. Those found in cave 4 were under a strict secrecy rule for decades after discovery. They were finally published in 1991 by force, not willingly. The public was told that these scrolls took so long to publish because they were fragile & therefore it took 30 years to translate them. However scholars had finished making concordances of the cave 4 scrolls by 1960 & they had to translate the scrolls to make the concordances. The official story was a ruse. Wood was curious what secrets the scrolls contained for them to have been suppressed. He recently solved the Grandaddy of the cave 4 puzzles--the Romans Code. Paul's letter to the Romans is the cornerstone of modern Xianity. Understanding this biblical epistle hinges on knowing the precise constitution of "the Works of the Law" mentioned therein. One of the cave 4 scrolls was entitled "Some Works of the Law." This was the 1st time the phrase "Works of the Law" was seen outside Paul's letters. Wood suspected this scroll held the key to deciphering it. In Breaking the Romans Code, he documents the solution to the deciphered "Works of the Law." In doing so, he documents that Orthodox Xanity has misunderstood this text book for over 1500 years.

The premise of this book is great: clearing up the teachings of Paul, and reconciling them to the teachings of Jesus. Wood first, however, has to clear up the teachings of Jesus. He spends time clearing up these teachings and I feel that he offers enough support for his thoughts.

However, I wish it was written with more of a intelligent tone, and less of an everyday tone. For me this cheapen his text. I also wish he had written his arguments with more quotes within the argument instead of his format of presenting the section he is talking about, then breaking it down. By inserting the quotes and references within the text we would see and understand his concepts better.

However, at the end of the day I feel that his point that what Jesus was teaching was to "Love one another as" Jesus "loved" us, and not to focus on ritual. It seems to me that clearly Jesus wanted us to help one another and by doing this we will become closer to Him.

"Excellent short read details about Jesus' sermon that I never knew. It changes everything about what righteousness really means and takes off all the pressure that we once had to be good. Righteousness is our benevolence toward others not how 'good' we can be! I've read most of this authors other books and he really has brought light several things in each book that the mainstream church has been hiding from us for hundreds of years. He's more in tune with the radical grace believers the latest move of God in these last days.

I am so glad that I found this book. I have spent many years researching and reading to try and find "The Truth" behind the errors and/or intentional manipulations that we see in our current bibles. I can not find fault with the authors research methods or his findings. I wish we had more researchers and authors like this.
