The Jesus Papers

Exposing the Greatest Cover-Up in History

De: Michael Baigent

Narrado por: Michael Baigent

What if everything you think you know about Jesus is wrong? In The Jesus Papers, Michael Baigent probes into the truth about Jesus's life and crucifixion.

As a religious historian, Baigent explores the religious and political climate in which Jesus was born and raised, and the strife within the different factions of the Jewish Zealot movement. He chronicles the migrations of Jesus's family, his subsequent exposure to other cultures and the events, teachings, and influences that were most likely to have shaped Jesus's early years. Baigent also uncovers the inconsistencies and biases in the accounts of the major historians of Jesus's time, revealing their enduring influence in forming our most common conceptions of Jesus.

Baigent provides a detailed account of his groundbreaking discoveries. The evidence he uncovers leads him to make shocking new assertions that threaten the conventional account of Jesus's life and death and shake the very foundation of Western thought. Ultimately, his investigation raises the hope that we may gain a new understanding of Jesus.

This is another fascinating piece in the big puzzle that the Da Vinci Code just scratched. The author considers the historical setting and how it does and doesn't jibe with what we know of the bible. Lots of great history and a really interesting insight in the mystical nature of Christianity.

For Those Who Love History

This book gives new insights to the world in which Jesus lived. I think it takes at least 3 "different" sources to understand any period in history. Between the Jesus Papers and the Bible, I have found 2 of those 3 sources. This book helped me to understand a period of time that ushered in a new age in our world.

Excellent book!

Excellent work! I hope there will be further evidence forthcoming. I hope the Catholic church does you no harm.
