Close Up Radio Spotlights Author Garrett Glass

Morris, IL – Garrett Glass is the author of several historical fiction books which provide hypothetical, non-canonical accounts surrounding the growth of Christianity as described in The Bible. His first book in the series starts on the day of Christ’s crucifixion, and from there his books contrast two storylines: the path the earliest followers of Jesus took in response to his death; and the response of the Roman empire to this growing threat to imperial rule.

“The focus of these books is to contrast what was going on at the highest levels of the Roman Empire, against the activities and struggles of the small Christian communities that were popping up in all major cities of the Empire,” summarizes Garrett.  “My approach is not to make this Biblical, though I am using individuals cited in The Bible. In writing Jehoshua: Signs and Wonders, and Jehoshua: Conflagration, I tried to explain why people at the time would construe certain events as miracles.  Fundamentally, my novels follow major events as described in The Bible, or in the historical record.”

As a result of the Jesus Movement, Garrett became disenfranchised with the Catholic Church and religion.

To explain his own religious beliefs, Garrett authored Who Cuts God’s Hair. “I describe myself as an atheist, but with a big difference,” says Garrett. “I believe God exists, but I also know where he lives. In Who Cuts God’s Hair, I establish both where he resides, and why belief in God is the default position of mankind. It’s not delusional to believe in God.”
