Synopsis

Uncover the origins of one of history’s most debated figures and what modern scholarship says about myth and gospel origins.

This book presents a careful, evidence-based reframing of the Jesus story, tracing how early traditions evolved into what became known as Christianity.

The author surveys a long history of ideas about the gospel narratives, comparing myth, prophecy, and ritual across ancient cultures. It offers a concise restatement of a theory that the Gospel Jesus grew from non-historic roots and evolved through a process of propaganda and adaptation.

• Learn how ancient ritual, baptism, and messianic ideas may have shaped early Jesuism.
• Explore how cross-cultural myths and scholarly debates influenced later Christian narratives.
• See how the author positions myth-theory against traditional biographical readings, with careful analysis of sources and methods.

Ideal for readers curious about religious history, myth-making, and the framing of early Christian origins within broader myth and anthropology.
