How They Wrote the Gospels: A Radical New Perspective

الوصف
This book is Volume 1 of a two-volume work on “How they Wrote the Gospels”. It lays the foundation for many of the ideas presented in the companion “Volume 2” book. Needless to say, I hold that there was a conspiracy of a team of men whose goal was to secretly convert the Roman general Titus into a benign, love-laden Jewish prophet, and to back date him to remove him from the times in which he lived.What these conspirators wanted to do was to preserve the ideas of this Roman general, thought to be so inspiring and important that they didn’t want to lose them and have them buried and forever lost. By creating a Jewish prophet who walked the roads and hills of Judaea, they could continue to worship the general and thwart the efforts of the current Roman emperor who wanted to be made into a “living god”, a prospect that the whole Roman people rejected.One man’s conspiracy might be another man’s social revolution. The author thinks there was, regarding the writings of the Gospels, a group of men who joined forces to create at least four documents that we have come to know as the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You can call it a conspiracy in a sense. We know that people collaborated to accomplish the Gospels. In another sense, these men were part of a larger mission that required that they use their intellectual abilities and writing skills to create materials for their patrons who had their own goals. These men created a myth that has influenced not only the entire history of the world but also the “tide of history”.Read more
