5 Acknowledgments Another Jesus? could not have been written without a team effort. I would like to thank Jim Tetlow for his contribution. Without his diligent assistance and valuable knowledge as a former Catholic, this book would not have been possible. And my special thanks to Brad Myers for assisting in research and documentation. Thanks also to John Shaffer for the helpful insights he provided.
