Publisher's Summary

David Fitzgerald's award-winning 2010 book, Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All, pointed out the top 10 fatal flaws of Christianity's origin story.

Now, Jesus: Mything in Action presents the most compelling new findings in Jesus myth theory, critically examines its controversial reception by biblical scholars and the extent and reliability of our sources for Jesus, and reveals the surprising history behind Jesus' evolution. In this volume, Mything in Action (chapters 1-12) looks at the myths of Jesus mythicism: what it is and isn't and what biblical scholars are saying about it (and why); and examines our oldest "biographical" source for Jesus - the allegorical story we know as the Gospel of Mark.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Revelations

I was raised a Jehovahs Witness and I studied the bible for over 15 years. I too had the same questions regarding the discrepancies between the story of Jesus last day and the gospel accounts. When you read the books literally especially Mark it makes no sense however as a book of allogories based on the Hebrew scriptures it all comes together. Stull a great piece of fictional writing. I am an experienced atheist these days.
