H. C. Teitler’s book, The Last Pagan Emperor: Julian the Apostate and the War against Christianity (BMCR 2018.03.20) , like other biblical writers, does not define the meaning of biblical terms like, ‘Pagan’, ‘Christ’, ‘Apostate’, ‘Bishop’, ‘Church’, and ‘Cross’ etc. which are linked to the Church history. These words are needed to be studied from point of view of their geographical origin. Christ was a ‘title’ of a group of ‘followers’ of the ancient time in the region of Mt Caucasus, or Kakustha, and this geographical identity of Jesus Christ will solve many of our problems and differences which H.C. Teitler has tried to point out through Julian the Apostate’s relationship with Christians of his time.

If Julian gave up Christianity, what religion he took up is a question; the term ‘pagan’ is a meaningless term that defines itself less than creates confusion more for Christian authors who discovered this term to differentiate other followers from the followers of Christianity. Similarly, the term ‘Galilaeans’, which though identifies the inhabitants of Galilee, the religious background of these people is quite unknown to our eminent scholars. When Canaanites were considered as ‘pagans’ with their Baal deity connection, the pagan-region has not been identified properly from geographical point of view.

Artemius, the Arian dux Aegypti , and priest Basil of Ancyra, Orientis Julianus —Julian’s uncle, priests Eugenius and Macarius, ‘passion épique’, and the story of ‘cephalo-phorus’ cannot be understood without a clean geographical picture of the region of the followers of ‘Christ’ in and around Nazareth where Jesus was born.
