Letters and Other Minor Works

The author of The Arimathea Protocol writes under a historically significant pseudonym, choosing to let the intersection of science, theology, and deep history speak for itself. Raised in an austere, traditional environment on an old German farm, living without running water or electricity well into the 1970s, the author developed an early, profound appreciation for contemplation. This upbringing forged a life guided by a singular mantra: Intention is the enemy of entropy. Following a diverse career spanning military service, a decade in the non-profit sector, and two decades supplying the nuclear, energy and defense industries, the author undertook what he calls "Pascal's Challenge." Taking 60 days of solitude to confront the deep fractures between modern science and faith, he sought a reconciliation once shared by intellectual giants like Newton, Kepler, and Pascal. The author's extensive theological studies, began with a strong Catholic foundation, and included time under the late theologian R.C. Sproul, and his deep fascination with "the thermodynamics of sanctification" heavily inform his debut novella. The Arimathea Protocol masterfully blends meticulous first-century history, traditional theology, and ancient lore into a fast-paced narrative exploring the "silent years" of the Holy Family. When not exploring how to outmaneuver entropy, the author is an avid culinary enthusiast who has spent decades learning alongside elite chefs. He continues to write from his home in the United States, exploring the hidden gears of history and faith.
