Dr. Sam Mathew is a former physician and retired university faculty member from Ohio. For over four decades, he has faithfully served in ministry, preaching Christ and leading worship services and adult Bible study classes across various churches. His lifelong passion for theology ultimately inspired him to write this book—a dream he has cherished since childhood.
Sam’s spiritual journey began at the age of eight, sparked by a deep desire for learning and achievement. As a young student, he eagerly collected academic certificates of merit, yet soon found himself longing for something more meaningful. This quest led him to participate in free Gospel correspondence courses, widely available through postal services at the time. Through these studies, he began to explore the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, marking the beginning of a profound and enduring journey of faith. What started as a pursuit of accomplishment gradually transformed into a deep spiritual calling and a growing desire to write about Christ.
Over the years, his imagination, curiosity, and creativity flourished, drawing him into deeper theological reflection and active ministry within traditional churches. Although his demanding professional career—serving as a physician for 25 years and later as a university faculty member in Ohio for 17 years—limited the time he could dedicate to writing, his passion for theology never waned.
On retiring in early 2025, Dr. Mathew finally had the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream. This first book represents more than five decades of study, contemplation, and faith-filled inquiry. It explores themes such as the Trinity, the fall of humanity, redemption and salvation, eschatology, and resurrection, offering thoughtful insights even into the scientific origins of the universe and philosophical reflection. Dr. Mathew hopes his writing will deepen readers’ understanding, awaken curiosity, and inspire meaningful engagement with God and the unseen realities of faith. He warmly invites readers to explore, question, and grow—perhaps even to shape their own understanding of God, along the way.
