Papered Over is an exploration of some of the New Testament's most puzzling contradictions and inconsistencies. Collard dares to ask questions free from the orthodoxy and mythology that has shrouded Christian history for two thousand years. He answers the questions of people who want authoritative information without having to buy and pour through numerous books on the subject. This volume offers explanations to many theological conundrums and should be a welcome addition to private, public and church libraries.Jared Collard is a retired senior Federal employee who lives in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. Papered Over is a protest against what Collard perceives as distortions of early Christian history to make Jesus fit St. Paul's vision of Christ and it uncovers many New Testament variants.
