"Have you ever read about a historical event from multiple perspectives? History is a complex subject, with altering perspectives depending on who the author is. A lot of the time, the ""standard"" version of something can be something that has been doctored to suit other agendas. Often, when we ask witnesses or natives, they seem to have a different story to tell.

Guy Mitchell's They Mingled Blood With the Sacrifices is a work of historical genius, where he traces the history of Christianity while asking profound questions that make you ponder how much human interference it took to turn Christianity into the faith it is today. As the most widespread religion of today, it is natural to wonder how exactly this religion came to be.

Mitchell explores the rise of Christianity amidst the backdrop of both the political as well as military conflict between Romans and Jews and the lasting impact it had on Christianity as it rose to become the prominent religion in Rome due to civil conflict as well as a general moral decline amongst dominant political families.

The book asks the pertinent question of what Christianity would look like without Roman interference. Mitchell aptly demonstrates how Romans sought to erase the Judaic roots of Christianity.

As the book delves into the political climate in Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus, you are left wondering how different Christianity would be had there been no Roman influence."

As a child and into his late teenage years, Guy pursued becoming an ordained minister; however, following an in-depth study of the Council of Nicaea, he ultimately decided not to pursue it. This was in large part due to the lack of ability of ordained ministers to question the doctrine put forth by the ministry licensing authority under which they are ordained, subsequent to ordination. Subsequently, Mitchell obtained a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, is a licensed nurse, and possesses a graduate degree in Human and Health Services Administration. While practicing as a nurse in the military, travel associated with the mission gave him the opportunity to travel abroad and visit various religious sites. His timeabroad further drove his curiosity about the origins of Christianity. Subsequent to these missions, he has continued to travel extensively, with multiple trips to Rome, Israel, and other sites of antiquity. He continues to further study antiquity in an attempt to understand the climate andmotivations which have propelled humanity throughout the centuries, linking past to the present, with a vision towards future.
