Klappentext ¿ What if Thousands of years before Christianity Pagans had also worshipped a Son of God? ¿ What if this Pagan saviour was also born of a virgin on the 25th of December before three Shepherds, turned water into wine, died and resurrected at Easter, and offered his body and blood as a Holy Communion? ¿ What if these Pagan myths had been rewritten as the gospel of Jesus Christ? ¿ What if there were absolutely no evidence for the existence of an historical Jesus? ¿ What if the earliest Christians knew that the Jesus story was a myth? ¿ What if the truth has been kept from us by the greatest cover-up in history? Drawing on the cutting edge of modern scholarship, this astonishing book will change everything you ever thought you ever thought you knew about Christianity. 'Book of the Year' FIONA PITT-KEIGHLEY, 'Daily Telegraph' Zusammenfassung This groundbreaking book looks at one of the greatest cover-ups in history and dares to think the unthinkable about Christianity – that it was in fact a Jewish Mystery School modelled on the ancient Pagan Mysteries.
