MY REVIEW
"Elenchos kai anatrope tes pseudonymou gnoseos" is the title of a book by a Christian, defined in
this review as someone who has faith in Jesus Christ in some form or fashion, named Irenaeus,
of Hellenistic ancestry who lived in Lugdunum now commonly called in modernity Lyon in
France, who lived circa 130 to 202 years after the birth of Jesus. The title translates, Control and
overthrow the falsely named Knowing. The message in this old book is to suggest one thing, no
option available. Orthodoxy, straight opinion, is superior to heresy, choice. The Gnostic
movement at its historic core opposed the idea that Christianity has one line of thinking, a
straight road. Throughout the course of Christian history Christian groups through schisms, like
the split between the Christian Church centered in Roma side the Christian church centered in
Nova Roma, or groups protesting a new way, like the Church of Jesus Christ and latter-day
saints, publicly support heresy.
"Adam And Eve Make Big Mistake" by Jean Ann Field-Ridley is a modern book, while its
purpose reflect the literary heritage of Irenaeus plus the Gnostics, through a Christian making a
book to a need in the Christian community of the literature's time while emphasizing a choice
that is against a standard presentation of Christianity.
Field-Ridley is a Black woman of the Caribbean and has publicly stated she feels in the
Caribbean Christianity is viewed by many as a religion for whites of European descent or whites
of anywhere. Sequentially, many Blacks in the Caribbean don't see a choice in being Christian, if
they also wish to be true to themselves.
The book is geared towards children of the Caribbean, using literature that when spoken
resounds culturally to the Caribbean. While I comprehended immediately the stories within the
book, reflecting Christian bible stories, the flavor of the text was unfamiliar to me, as for
example the book of Genesis covered in the book.
In the spirit of early Christian literature this book does not interpret each book of the apostles or
all books of the Septuagint, the predecessor of the Old Testament. The illustrative border style is
elegant or beautiful while the images are incoherent in storytelling approach.
Christian parents may need to make adjustments to what they say while they read based on their
faith in Jesus. But the book totally embraces or never betrays through language or imagery
aracial unity in humanity. Which is a prerequisite in the goal of the author or the agenda in the
book, to get a populace of humans who have lived under the power of another populace to
embrace a culture delivered by slave chain when they are no longer enslaved. It is in the spirit of
heresy, choice, that Jesus, born a Jew and surrounded by Jewish clergy testing or challenging
him, chose to lead a new way open to all, which became Christianity. No book can guarantee an
affect on a reader. But after an attempt, if it can increase, by any measure, a human child
choosing to embrace or hold onto something from humanity they opposed or doubted, the
extended family of Eve and Adam is better for it.
