Dr. John Thomas, the founder of the Christadelphian movement, survived a severe sea storm during his emigration to America. In his prayers during the storm, he promised that should he survive, he'll dedicate the rest of his life to learning the Bible and trying to understand the true message of the scriptures. In doing so, he questioned the orthodox beliefs and came to the founding of a new trend in Christianity. He expressed his new ideas in the series of 18 books, one of which is Anastasis.
