Dedication
This book is dedicated to an unknown author,
who approximately 1500 years ago wrote a
declaration of his/her Christian faith on the
back of a grain tax receipt made out of papyrus.
The relic of antiquity I reference is referred to as
The Last Supper Papyrus
Dr. Roberta Mazza of the John Rylands Research Institute recently rediscovered the relic
and dated it as 6th century Egypt
– Below is what the unknown author has to say
“ʻFear you all who rule over the earth.
Know you nations and peoples that Christ is our God.
For he spoke and they came to being, he commanded and they were created; he put everything under our feet and delivered us from the wish of our enemies.
Our God prepared a sacred table in the desert for the people and gave manna of the new covenant to eat, the Lord’s immortal body and the blood of Christ poured for us in remission of sins.’”
