The book is about the deep-rooted tradition of spring celebration and its interaction with calendar systems. He also disclosed his new interpretation of the meaning of the Israelites' Exodus in the book. "Betrayal, Resurrection, and Conversion: An Atheist's View," is his latest book in science and religion field.
