Dr. Ronald Henry, a 71-year-old distinguished cardiologist and Chaconia Medal (Silver) recipient, has unveiled his interdisciplinary work ‘Moses Revealed’ that synthesizes biblical narratives with archaeological evidence and historical research. The book launch event at Hilton on October 29 featured Education Minister Dr. Michael Dowlath as keynote speaker, celebrating this unique contribution to religious scholarship.
Henry’s publication offers a comprehensive re-examination of Moses’ life journey—from his royal Egyptian upbringing to his pivotal role in Abrahamic traditions. Unlike conventional religious interpretations, the 89-page volume employs Egyptological research and hieroglyphic translations to contextualize the biblical account within ancient Egyptian culture and belief systems.
The cardiologist’s two-decade intellectual journey began during a visit to Egypt where he observed striking parallels between ancient Egyptian concepts of resurrection and Christian doctrines. This realization prompted extensive research into German Egyptologist Jan Assmann’s works, particularly ‘The Search for God in Ancient Egypt,’ which fundamentally reshaped Henry’s understanding of religious evolution.
A critical COVID-19 infection in December 2023 provided unexpected impetus for completion. During hospitalization, Henry discovered his manuscript’s resonance when a male nurse responded enthusiastically to aloud readings. This experience convinced him to reframe the narrative through Moses’ perspective as ‘an icon of modern man’s dilemma between faith and knowledge.’
Education Minister Dowlath praised the work as exemplifying lifelong learning, noting its diagnostic precision and human-centered storytelling. Henry characterizes his Moses as ‘more Spiderman than Superman’—a complex figure navigating between Egyptian scientific education and divine calling, mirroring contemporary professionals balancing reason with spiritual seeking.
The book is available at Paper Based Bookshop (St. Clair), Unique Book Stores nationwide, and Amazon. Henry has already committed to two subsequent publications, maintaining that ‘education should humble us to recognize how much we don’t know.’
