Manfred Davidmann proves by methods of biblical archaeology what Jesus really taught, how Paul changed what Jesus had taught, how Paul's ideology became Christianity's official doctrine. Outstanding are the sections on Paul and the Gospels. The author reviews the Russian Orthodox Church's social and church-state policies. He analyses the Social Policies (Doctrine) of the Roman Catholic Church, the consequences for Catholics, and he states that challenging decisions are needed. Manfred Davidmann concludes that
Christianity (Liberation Theology) is struggling forward towards its roots in response to the social and economic problems of global humanity at the present time. Towards what Jesus taught. Following the publication of Manfred Davidmann's works about the Meaning of Genesis, and of the publicity it generated, the 'Creationism' hypothesis was abandoned as
untenable. The author exposes and proves the basic underlying causes of what seems to be progressive breaking down of family life and of social strength, and he states new insights.
