A propos de cet article

First American edition, first printing. xii, 349 pp. w/ two color photos. Bound in publisher's black cloth with gilt spine lettering. Near Fine with faint soiling to boards in Near Fine dust jacket, worn at spine ends, a little toned, unclipped ($7.95). Uncommon. A cult classic by the archaeologist who popularized the Dead Sea Scrolls, maintaining through a complex argument rooted in linguistics that the historical Jesus never existed but was the invention of a psilocybin-mushroom-ingesting fertility cult. Originally published in the author's home country, the UK; this the first US edition features a more colorful dust jacket with a photo of Amanita muscaria. The book has been known to pop up in Joe Rogan's popular podcast as one of his perennial talking points.
