Michael B. Paulkovich (born February 21, 1955) is a columnist for American Atheist Magazine,[1][2][3] a print and online resource for atheism, religion and politics.
[5] While at NASA he contributed to the Cassini–Huygens mission, the CONTOUR spacecraft, and development of the James Webb Space Telescope.
[10] Candida Moss joined with Joel Baden to write an article in the Daily Beast about Paulkovich's No Meek Messiah book,[23] but other writers have pointed out that their article has many errors: the claim that Paulkovich had no web presence, and no Twitter account, that he claimed to be a “Bible Scholar” and that there is no biographical information on him.
[24] [25] It has been suggested that Moss and Baden never had Paulkovich’s book in their possession; one writer asked, "Did anyone who wrote about No Meek Messiah ever read it?
"[32] Paulkovich's subsequent book, Beyond the Crusades: Christianity's Lies, Laws and Legacy is a complete re-write of No Meek Messiah with a new publisher, and foreword by New Testament scholar Robert M. Price.
