101 Myths of the Bible is my follow-up to The Moses Mystery. It examines many of the most famous stories in the Old Testament and shows how Israelite scribes often adapted, edited, or changed Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Greek myths and legends, transforming them into biblical stories about Israel's history. Of especial interest may be the many early Egyptian influences that have been overlooked by both biblical scholars and Egyptologists. The book shows how many famous stories, such as that of David and Goliath or the handing down of the Ten Commandments from Moses to Israel, were based on false beliefs about events that never happened.

The Moses Mystery: the African Origins of Ancient Israel (Birch Lane Press, 1996) is Gary Greenberg's controversial challenge to traditional biblical scholarship about the origins of ancient Israel. In it he argues that the first Israelites were Egyptians who followed the teachings of the monotheistic pharaoh Akhenaton (1379-1364 BC) and that the Exodus resulted from a failed attempt to place Moses on the Egyptian throne in 1314 BC, when Pharaoh Horemheb died. The Bible Myth: the African Origins of Ancient Israel (Citadel Press 1998) is the subsequent paperback edition and contains some minor corrections that were omitted from the original edition.

In 1998 Enalios Publications released a Greek language edition of The Moses Mystery and in 2000 Prefacio released a Portuguese edition of The Bible Myth. Due to heavy sales, the hardcover edition is almost sold out and Barnes and Noble is probably the only remaining outlet still having copies. The paperback edition is also available at Barnes and Noble but can occasionally be obtained through other dealers.

A must read for those interested in biblical scholarship. - The Tennessee Tribune

An ingenious comparison of Biblical and Egyptian history. - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I am amazed at how you managed to figure out that there is a connection of the Genesis chronology to the Egyptian chronology. . . .And your breakdown of Genesis 15:13 with Exodus 13:40 was also impressive. And the match of the patriarch with the Egyptian myths was inspiring. —T.G.

Released in July of 2000, War of the Werewolf is Gary Greenberg's first novel. A combination of the traditional horror story and modern political thriller, it tells the story of two radicals from opposite sides of the political spectrum who have violent plans for America’s future. But fate has dealt a wild card and only Ludwig von Dracula, a descendant of the infamous count, knows how to stop the bloodshed. The book is co-written with Jerome Tuccille, author of It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand and numerous other books. For more detailed information, including an overview of the story and main characters plus a chapter excerpt, you can go to my special War of the Werewolf web site.

Barbara Branden says: "I give up: I've never liked science fiction, I never have read a science fiction book I was held by--but I was up most of the night reading War of the Werewolf. Jerry Tuccille and Gary Greenberg are marvelous story tellers. I had to know how the book would end, and, somehow, I utterly suspended disbelief."

War of the Werewolf is one of the few novels recommended on Free Market Net.
