The Jesus Fraud Allen J. Earlstone 1st edition

This work relates the story of the birth, life, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ as never before told. Making use of the historical material provided by the Bible itself (complete with specific Biblical references), the writer explores the logic and viability of the words and suspect claims of the oft quoted gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It reviews the many possible perpetrators and their motives for seeking Jesus?s crucifixion, including the role of King Herod, Herod Antipas, the Romans, the Jews, scribes and Pharisees even Judas Iscariot, and suggests who ultimately bears the burden of responsibility. In addition, it reveals the peculiar connection between the life of Jesus, the Jewish prophecies of the Old Testament and the Islamic jihadists of today. It examines the extraordinary impact that the death of Jesus had in his time and all the time to follow, including the issue of martyrdom, and self-annihilation, racism and privilege. It also peeks into the future of religion and humankind.
