About This Book
Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ? Challenging the Existence of
an Historical Jesus
A new presentation of the argument that no historical Jesus existed. A full and
comprehensive survey of the question through an examination of the early
Christian record, canonical and non-canonical, from Q to the Gospels, from the
earliest Pauline epistles to the second century apologists, along with Jewish,
Gnostic, and Greco-Roman documents of the time. The philosophy of the era, its
religious expression in the pagan mystery cults, fascinating glimpses into the
historical background of the period, an in-depth consideration of the Jewish
historian Flavius Josephus, are only some of the additional topics covered in
the book. A richly-detailed, highly lucid and entertaining account of how
Christianity began without an historical Jesus of Nazareth, who came to life
only on the pages of the Gospels. While based on the author's work for The Jesus
Puzzle website, the book is almost entirely an original writing, not a
compilation of website articles. Like the website itself, the book has been
styled for the general reader, though the scholarly community will find it of
value as well.
