Ancient Dynamic Monarchians held that Jesus was a miraculously conceived man who, after his resurrection, ascended to heaven and to divine authority, as opposed to being an eternal divine Person who became human. This book makes an historical argument that far from being a phenomenon that appeared only in isolated cases in the third century, Dynamic Monarchianism was a tradition that existed from the earliest days of Christianity and was part of the Christian mainstream until the emergence of newer Christologies led to it being regarded as heretical. Thomas Gaston holds a Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Oxford, a Masters in the History of Christianity from the University of Birmingham, and a degree in Philosophy from the University of Warwick.

This is not an ordinary story. You are in control of the story and what happens to your character. But will it be a happy ending? Your choices will decide. In the midst of a war between your people, the Vardars, and your fearsome enemy, the Curdars, you have been captured and imprisoned within the dungeons of Castle Rarda. You have vital information for the Vardars. Without this information the war will be lost. You must get that information to the Vardars before it is too late. But first you must escape Castle Rarda. You are in control of the story. Can you find the way out before it is too late?

The current consensus amongst critical scholars is that the book of Daniel is a work of fiction. In Historical Issues in the Book of Daniel Thomas Gaston reviews and re-appraises the historical evidence for the events recorded in the book of Daniel, as well as considering several other connected textual and theological issues. Through scrupulous academic argument Gaston concludes that the book of Daniel stands up to historical scrutiny.
