The Jesus Hoax: How St. Paul's Cabal Fooled the World for Two Thousand Years - David Skrbina

Descriere

nJesus of Nazareth is one of the most famous men in history. There are good reasons to believe that he walked the earth some two thousand years ago, and was eventually crucified.n n nn nBut what about Jesus Christ, son of God? What if he never existed? What if the divine, virgin-born, resurrected Jesus Christ was a myth, a lie-evenn na hoax? That would have huge implications for modern day Christianity; it would mean that there is a gigantic falsehood at the core of the religion ofn nsome two billion people.n n nn nIn this book, Dr. David Skrbina presents a profound and stunning theory: that St. Paul and a band of followers constructed a 'Jesus hoax.' They took a kernel of truth based on Jesus, the man, and turned him into the divine savior of humanity. They did so as a way to strike back at the hated Roman Empire, and to undermine its strength among the common people. The absolute lack of corroborating evidence for the so-called biblical Jesus, and the fact that key documents such as the four Gospels were written decades after his time, all support this theory. n n nn nEveryone, regardless of religious belief, needs to be aware of this astonishing story. This is not just ancient history; it has vast implications for many areas of modern life.n n nn
