Description
"It is Alvar Ellegard's view that even the basic facts about the life of Jesus are fictional: Jesus was not born in the time of Augustus Caesar (27 B.C.-14 A.D.). He was not baptized by John. He was not sentenced to death by Pilate. And he never roamed Palestine as a wandering preacher and miracle worker. In fact, none of Jesus' supposed contemporaries ever saw him in the flesh but only through visions, as the Christ raised by God to heaven."--Jacket.
Description
"After leading readers through the earliest Christian writings, including Paul's Letters and a dozen other biblical and non-biblical texts, Alvar Ellegard presents the provocative argument that none of these writers had ever met Jesus, nor did they refer to anybody who had. To them, Jesus was someone who had lived and died much earlier."--Jacket.
