The
Christ Conspiracy
"Controversial and explosive, The Christ Conspiracy marshals
an enormous amount of startling evidence that the religion of
Christianity and Jesus Christ were created by members of various
secret societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify
the Roman Empire under one state religion! This powerful book
maintains that these groups drew upon a multitude of myths and
rituals that already existed long before the Christian era and
reworked them into the story the Christian religion... "

The Jesus Puzzle
"A new presentation of the argument that no historical Jesus
existed. A full and comprehensive survey of the question through
an examination of the early Christian record, canonical and non-canonical,
from Q to the Gospels, from the earliest Pauline epistles to the
second century apologists, along with Jewish, Gnostic, and Greco-Roman
documents of the time. The philosophy of the era, its religious
expression in the pagan mystery cults, fascinating glimpses into
the historical background of the period, an in-depth consideration
of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, are only some of the
additional topics covered in the book. A richly-detailed, highly
lucid and entertaining account of how Christianity began without
an historical Jesus of Nazareth, who came to life only on the
pages of the Gospels. While based on the author's work for The
Jesus Puzzle website, the book is almost entirely an original
writing, not a compilation of website articles. Like the website
itself, the book has been styled for the general reader, though
the scholarly community will find it of value as well. "

The Skeptic's Annotated Bible
"The Skeptic's Annotated Bible attempts to remedy this imbalance.
It includes the entire text of the King James Version of the Bible,
but without the pro-Bible propaganda. Instead, passages are highlighted
that are an embarrassment to the Bible-believer, and the parts
of the Bible that are never read in any Church, Bible study group,
or Sunday School class are emphasized. For it is these passages
that test the claims of the Bible-believer. The contradictions
and false prophesies show that the Bible is not inerrant; the
cruelties, injustices, and insults to women, that it is neither
good nor just. " -Steve Wells
