City. Being son of immigrants, he was privileged to spend
many summers in Europe. As a young adult Vince was
fascinated by the ancient history of Europe. When he was in
High School, he studied Latin for four years. In learning the
language, most of the school work centered on translating
Latin writings from and about ancient Rome and the Romans.
He made several pilgrimages to Italy and Rome, and loved
being submersed in ancient and medieval Roman culture,
art, mythology, and architecture. Of course, Rome was also
intertwined with the history of early Christianity.
In the course his studies, he discovered how Christianity
struggled to survive and grow in the Roman Empire. Then
as it was finally gaining acceptance, the smaller Christian
groups were being snuffed out as the larger western
Christian Church gained dominance. Many shows are aired
on this period of time, especially about the “lost” or “banned”
Gospels, on major networks including The History Channel
and The National Geographic Channel. Innumerable books
have been written on this and related subjects by very best
and prominent professors from major U.S. universities. In
fact a whole section of the library (220-232) and bookstores
is dedicated to “General Christianity.” Vince cannot watch
and read enough on the subjects of the “lost Gospels,”
“Christian Gnosticism,” and “Alternative Christianities.”
Vince had done teaching, speaking, and writing in his
career, so his next logical step was to write a book, compile
all this great information, and get it out to as many people
as possible. There is so much information, Volumes II and III
are already being written.view less
